  Author(s): Roshik Shrestha*
  
  Aim: The current study aimed to evaluate the anesthetic efficacies of epidurally administered lignocaine-HCl and bupivacaine-HCl alone and their combinations in rabbits. Materials and methods: A total of 15 rabbits weighing 1.8 to 2.3kg was allocated equally into three groups. Rabbits in Group A received epidural injection of 4 mg/kg 2% lignocaine-HCl; Group B received epidural injection of 1 mg/kg 0.5%, bupivacaine-HCl. However, the rabbits of Group C received epidural injection of combined solution of 2 mg/kg of 2% lignocaine-HCl and 0.5mg/kg of 0.5% bupivacaine-HCl. Physiological parameters such as Heart Rate (HR), Respiratory Rate (RR) and Rectal Temperature (RT) were recorded 10 minutes before and then after epidural anesthesia at every 10 minutes intervals over a period of 120 minutes. Similarly, the onset and duratio.. Read More»
