  • Title: Effect of anticholinergic preanesthetic medicaments on the requirements of halothane for anesthesia in the cat.
    Author: Webb AI, McMurphy RM.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1987 Dec; 48(12):1733-5. PubMed ID: 3434920.
    Abstract:
    To study the effects of anticholinergics on anesthetic requirements, minimal alveolar concentrations (MAC) for halothane in the cat were measured before and after IM administration of an anticholinergic (atropine sulfate [0.045 mg/kg], glycopyrrolate [0.011 mg/kg], or scopolamine hydrobromide [0.02 mg/kg]) or a physiologic saline control. The study was performed in 8 adult cats, using a randomized-block experimental design. There was no significant difference between the mean MAC obtained before and after administration of any of the test drugs or vs the control values. The mean MAC of halothane in cats was 0.985% atmosphere.
