Popis: Este trabalho objetivou estabelecer um protocolo de contenção física tendo em vista a realização de exames ginecológicos e obstétricos por ultrassom em macacos-da-noite. As fêmeas foram contidas manualmente e foram alimentadas com frutas antes, durante e após o procedimento. A freqüência cardíaca inicial e final (FC1 e FC2) de cada fêmea foi calculada com base no intervalo entre picos sistólicos. O estresse causado pela contenção inicial aumentou a atividade simpática, elevando a FC1. A oferta das frutas aos animais favoreceu a modulação parassimpática, o que justifica a redução na FC2. Isso foi observado nos exames ginecológicos e obstétricos. The objective of this study was to establish a physical restraint protocol for gynecological and obstetric examination using ultrasound in Aotus azarai infulatus. The study was conducted with 10 previously established adult couples, evaluated during two different time periods (P1and P2). In P1, the conditioning was carried out by daily repetition of the gynecological exam associated with the offering of fruits before, during and after the exam. In P2, gynecological examinations were performed on nonpregnant females (n = 6), and obstetric examinations on those who became pregnant (n = 3). The exams were performed using the Medical SonoAce 9900®ultrasound equipment equipped with a multifrequential linear array probe (5-12 MHz). The initial and final heart rate (HR1 and HR2) for each female were calculated based on the interval between systolic peaks. No significant differences were observed in the heart rates in terms of time of examination, suggesting that the time did not interfere in the variables analyzed during the exams. The gynecological and obstetric exams presented a HR2 lower than HR1 during the two periods evaluated (p
