EFFECT OF ISOFLURANE ON HEMATOLOGIC VARIABLES IN FERRETS

摘要: Effects of isoflurane on the CBC in ferrets were studied. There was rapid decrease all hematologic variables after induction anesthesia. Percentage reductions indices erythron (hematocrit, RBC count, hemoglobin concentration) exceeded those plasma protein concentration and WBC count at first postinduction time point. little additional these for duration The values had partially recovered to preanesthetic baseline 45 minutes Although alterations appear be well tolerated healthy ferrets, care should exercised when subjecting anemic, geriatric, or debilitated isoflurane-induced
