La anestesia aviar, es un área de estudio controvertida debido a la morfo fisiología diferente para cada una de las especies. Lo cual hace necesario proponer protocolos confiables para aquellas en cautiverio, que además de contribuir a su conservación y bienestar, hoy representan una actividad clínica veterinaria que demanda especial cuidado a los pacientes conservados frecuentemente como mascota y en aquellos que requieran de procedimientos quirúrgicos de invasión mínima (Alonso 2017). Este estudio describe los parámetros de SpO2 y actividad cardiaca durante la anestesia con isoflurano, de periquito australiano (Melopsittacus undulatus). Se monitorearon 12 machos y 7 hembras, clínicamente sanos. Se determinó: Frecuencia respiratoria, frecuencia cardiaca y durante las etapas anestésicas se determinó la saturación parcial de Oxígeno. La inducción anestésica duró 1:30 ± 0:31 min en machos y 2:19 ± 0:16 min en hembras, con promedio de mantenimiento de 7:00 ± 1:39 min. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en los tiempos anestésicos entre hembras y machos (p>0.05). Se presentó una variación estadísticamente significativa (p<0.05) de la SpO2 en el periodo de recuperación, las hembras presentaron mayor de saturación de oxígeno (71±4 %) comparado con los machos (89±2 %). En la valoración de la función cardiaca durante la anestesia no se detectaron diferencias significativas entre machos y hembras (p>0.05). Se concluye como un protocolo anestésico seguro para procedimientos clínicos de corta duración para aves pequeñas como M undulatus.
Avian anesthesia is a controversial area of study due to the different morphophysiology for each of the species. Which makes it necessary to propose reliable protocols for those in captivity, which in addition to contributing to their conservation and welfear, today they represent a veterinary clinical activity that demands special care from patients frequently kept as pets. This study describes the parameters of SpO2 and cardiac activity during anesthesia with isoflurane, of budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus). Twelve males and 7 females, clinically healthy, were monitored. It was determined: Respiratory rate, heart rate and during the anesthetic stages the partial saturation of oxygen was determined. Anesthetic induction lasted 1:30 ± 0:31 min in males and 2:19 ± 0:16 min in females, with an average maintenance time of 7:00 ± 1:39 min. No significant differences were found in anesthetic times between females and males (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant variation (p<0.05) of SpO2 in the recovery period, females had higher oxygen saturation (71±4%) compared to males (89±2%). In the assessment of cardiac function during anesthesia, no significant differences were detected between males and females (p>0.05). It is concluded as a safe anesthetic protocol for clinical procedures of short duration for small birds such as M undulatus.
