Vibrational and Laser Acupuncture of Gv20 and Yintang as Sedative Adjuvant in Xylazine Sedated Dogs

Abstract

X ylazine is a potent 2 -adrenergic agonist that induc- es sedation, analgesia, and muscle relaxation in dogs Virtually, 2 -agonists are key factors in achieving smooth induction of anesthesia, reducing requirements of different anesthetics, and improving intraoperative stability (Tranquilli and Maze,1993; Paddl-eford and Harvey,1999; Despite of this, administration of 2 -agonists could be complicated with negative cardiovascular effects like bradycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, reduction in cardiac output, and an increase in systemic vascular resistance Reduction in breathing rate, hyperglycemia, decreased hematocrit, and vomiting are other adverse events In different animal species, the side effects of 2 -agonists were described to research
