摘要: Objective To determine the effect of a long-acting local anaesthetic on plasma cortisol response in calves dehorned using scoop. Design A physiological study with controls. Procedure Seventy female calves, 3 to 4 months old, were divided into seven groups and by scoop or without long acting (bupivacaine) which provides anaesthesia for h. In some treatment was given second time, after h, give 8 h anaesthesia. Blood samples taken before 9 concentrations measured. Results Scoop dehorning caused marked rise concentration, returned pre-dehorning values 7 The bupiva-caine similar those control animals dehorning, but then significant protracted occurred, returning pretreatment at about dehorning. bupivacaine concentration remained increased sharply. Conclusions During its period activity prevented usually seen concentrations; inference it also alleviated pain-induced distress this procedure. However, when effects had worn off rose sharply indicating that still experienced despite being administered.
