Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted on 18 bovines (16 buffalo and 2 cattle) to study physiological, haemato-biochemical and serum cortisol changes after proximal paravertebral administration of 0.5 percent ropivacaine, 0.75 percent ropivacaine and 2 percent lignocaine. Ropivacaine was found to have no clinically relevant effects on heart rate, respiration rate and rectal temperature. Ropivacaine did not show any adverse clinical effect on the haematological parameters. Non-significant decreased in serum cortisol was observed 30 minutes after administration of local anesthetics compare to before administration of local anesthetics in all groups and quantified that the local anaesthetic reduced surgical stress during surgical procedures. From the present study, it was concluded that ropivacaine effectively administrated in paravertebral space in physiologically impaired animals.
