Abstract

Ketamine was used for induction of anaesthesia after premedication of diazepam-xylazine (group A), diazepam medetomidine (group B), diazepam-romifidine (group C) and diazepam alone (group D) in atropinised goats. Gradual hypertension was followed by hypotension E in groups A, B and C. Central venous pressure initially increased and fell gradually in groups A, B and C. No significant (P>0.05) change in arterial and central venous pressures were seen in the animals of group D. Changes in electro-cardiogram were minimal. Atrioventricular block and ventricular premature complex was seen in animals of groups B and C respectively.
