Objective: To compare the sedative and physiological effects of intranasal (IN) and intramuscular (IM) delivery of detomidine in calves.
Study Design: Prospective, randomized experimental study.
Animals: A total of 20 healthy calves, aged 15.
Background/aim: In many studies, shock indices have proven to be good tools for predicting mortality. In the present study, burn shock index (BSI), percentage of total body surface area burned (TBSA%) multiplied by shock index; burn modified shock index (BMSI), TBSA% multiplied by modified shock index; burn age shock index (BASI), TBSA% multiplied by age shock index; burn rivers shock index (BrSI), TBSA% multiplied by rivers shock index; burn rivers shock index multiplied by Glasgow Coma Scale score (BrSIG) were examined in burn patients. We defined these burn shock indices for the first time.
