Resumo
Resultados satisfatórios têm sido relatados com o emprego da eletroacupuntura (EA), como adjuvante da anestesia geral no homem e em animais. O objetivo do trabalho é avaliar a dose de indução anestésica do propofol em função do emprego da eletroacupuntura em cães. Foram utilizados 20 cães, distribuídos em dois grupos de igual número, GEA: foi realizada EA nos acupontos estômago 36 (E36), vesícula biliar 34 (VB 34) e baço-pâncreas 6 (BP 6), bilateralmente, durante 45 minutos antes da indução anestésica e GC: não foi realizada EA antes da indução anestésica. Os animais foram tranqüilizados com acepromazina intravenosa (0,05mg.kg-1) 60 minutos antes da indução anestésica, realizada com propofol na taxa de 0,2ml.kg.min-1. A análise estatística foi realizada por test t não pareado(P<0,05). Os valores foram apresentados em média±SD. Não houve diferença significativa na dose do propofol entre os grupos (5±2mg kg-1 no GC e 5,2±1,6mg kg-1 no GEA), sugerindo que a eletroacupuntura não potencializou o efeito depressor do propofol sobre o sistema nervoso central.
Electro-acupuncture (EA) has been used as an adjuvant of general anesthesia in men and animals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of EA on propofol dose for induction of anesthesia in dogs. Twenty healthy adult crossbred dogs were used and randomly distributed in two groups (n=10 per group): GEA dogs were submitted to EA in the acupoints stomach 36, gall bladder 34 and spleen 6, bilaterally, for 45 minutes before induction of anesthesia. Dogs in the control group (GC) were not treated before induction of anesthesia. Animals were sedated with 0.05mg kg-1 of acepromazine intravenously. Anesthesia was induced with intravenous propofol using a 0.2ml.kg.min-1 infusion rate 60 minutes after sedation. The statistical analysis was accomplished by the unpaired t test to compare differences between groups (P<0.05). Values are presented as mean±SD. There was no significant difference in the dose of propofol required to abolish the podal withdrawal reflex between groups (5.0±2.0mg kg-1 for the control group and 5.2±1.6mg kg-1 for the EA treated group), suggesting that EA did not potentiate propofol anesthesia in dogs.
