Uso de sulfato de magnésio como adjuvante anestésico no tratamento nociceptivo em cadelas submetidas à ovariossalpingohisterectomia

Abstract

Opioids are very present in the veterinary routine, and with the indiscriminate use of these drugs, many undesirable effects can be observed, such as emesis, cardiorespiratory depression, histamine release, dependence and the promotion of hyperalgesia. As an alternative method to using these, we propose the use of an analgesic adjuvant, magnesium sulfate, which in turn is an NMDA receptor antagonist that attenuates central sensitization. Therefore, the study is justified by the relevance of the subject, given the importance of always improving the quality of anesthesia.
