Butorphanol or a Combination of Ketamine and Xylazine Do Not Interfere With Arrhythmogenic Parameters in Agoutis (Dasyprocta prymnolopha) Obtained Through High-Resolution Electrocardiogram. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction/Objectives: Agoutis is a medium‐sized wild rodent with potential for use as an experimental model. This study aimed to evaluate physiological parameters of arrhythmogenesis in this species, by HR‐ECG and VCG techniques, under physical and pharmacological containment (ketamine‐xylazine and butorphanol). Materials and methods: Eight
