A constant rate infusion of ketamine and dexmedetomidine significantly improves sedation quality and muscle relaxation while reducing isoflurane requirements during equine surgery.
The co-infusion achieved a significant p less than 0.05 reduction in thiopentone sodium and isoflurane demand, while maintaining stable heart and respiratory rates throughout anesthesia.
Evaluation of 24 clinical equine cases showed constant rate infusion of ketamine and dexmedetomidine produces superior muscle relaxation and supports safer balanced anesthesia protocols.
