- The study aimed to compare the effects of alfaxalone and a combination of ketamine, dexmedetomidine, midazolam, and tramadol (KDMT) on the immobilization of golden-headed lion tamarins during vasectomy.
- Nineteen healthy male tamarins were administered either alfaxalone at different doses or KDMT, with physiologic variables and anesthetic depth monitored throughout the procedures.
- Results showed that alfaxalone provided effective sedation and muscle relaxation, while KDMT initially lowered heart rate and blood pressure but offered deeper anesthesia, suggesting alfaxalone is suitable for less invasive procedures. *
