Popis: Objective The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of fentanyl on the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane needed to prevent motor movement (MAC NM ) in response to noxious stimulation, and to evaluate if acute tolerance develops. Study design Randomized cross-over experimental study. Animals Six healthy, adult (2–3 years old), intact male, mixed-breed dogs weighing 16.2 ± 1.1 kg. Methods Six dogs were randomly assigned to receive one of three separate treatments over a 3 week period. After baseline sevoflurane MAC NM (MAC NM-B ) determination, fentanyl treatments (T) were administered as a loading dose (Ld) and constant rate infusion (CRI) as follows: T1-Ld of 7.5 μg kg −1 and CRI at 3 μg kg −1 hour −1 ; T2-Ld of 15 μg kg −1 and CRI at 6.0 μg kg −1 hour −1 ; T3-Ld of 30 μg kg −1 and CRI at 12 μg kg −1 hour −1 . The MAC NM was defined as the minimum end-tidal sevoflurane concentration preventing motor movement. The first post-treatment MAC NM (MAC NM-I ) determination was initiated 90 minutes after the start of the CRI, and a second MAC NM (MAC NM - II ) determination was initiated 3 hours after MAC NM-I was established. Results The overall least square mean MAC NM-B for all groups was 2.66%. All treatments decreased ( p NM , and the decrease from baseline was 22%, 35% and 41% for T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Percentage change in T1 differed ( p NM-I was not significantly different from MAC NM-II within treatments. Conclusions and clinical relevance Fentanyl doses in the range of 3–12 μg kg −1 hour −1 significantly decreased the sevoflurane MAC NM . Clinically significant tolerance to fentanyl did not occur under the study conditions.
