摘要：

Doses for standing sedation allowing for various procedures in otherwise inaccessible, untrained captive African elephant bulls are presented. Thirty-three standing sedations were performed in 12 males aged 8-30 years (one to four sedations per animal). Each bull received a combination of 0.009 0.002 mg/kg medetomidine and 0.03 0.007 mg/kg butorphanol. Full sedation was reached on average 25.5 min after injection. The addition of hyaluronidase (1000-2000 IU) significantly reduced time to full sedation to 16.5 min (paired t test, P= 0.024). Reversal was induced with intramuscular atipamezole 0.008 (0.002) and naltrexone 0.035 (0.015) mg/kg. Recovery took on average 7 min (3-18 min). The medetomidine/ butorphanol combination provided safe standing sedation for smaller procedures. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
