Abstract
Atropine sulphate was given @ 0.04 mg/kg body weight I/M 15
minutes prior to the xylazine HCL anaesthesia @ 0.75 mg/kg body wt
at the lumbosacral epidural space and haematological and
biochemical parameters were evaluated. A significant decrease in
haematological parameters viz. TEC, PCV, Hb and non-significant
decrease in TLC and platelet count whereas significant increase in
ESR was observed. A significant increase in serum glucose value
was recorded while the other biochemical parameters like SGOT,
SGPT, and BUN significantly altered whereas no change in serum
creatinine value was also recorded.
Keywords:
Xylazine hydrochloride, Atropine sulphate, haematological,
biochemical.
