Anesthesia was maintained intravenously with midazolam (0.8 mg/kg/h), sufentanil (8 μg/kg/h; Janssen, Vienna, Austria), and rocuronium (5 mg/kg/h; Organon, Oss, the Netherlands). Catheters were placed by direct preparation and incision of the left external jugular vein and left carotid artery for standard fluid therapy, invasive blood pressure monitoring, and blood withdrawal (according to the standardized pig anesthesia protocol). A 14 Fr catheter was inserted suprapubically into the bladder. Mean arterial pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and ventilation parameters were monitored continuously, while arterial blood gas analysis was performed and lactate was measured at blood sampling time points.
Rocuronium
Rocuronium is a type of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent. It is used in medical settings to induce muscle relaxation during surgical procedures or mechanical ventilation.

Comprehensive Pig Anesthesia Protocol

Perioperative Anesthetic Management
Comparative Evaluation of Intubation Devices
Loss of perception was then achieved, facemask ventilation was started, and the anesthesia was provided by a volatile anesthetic factor (with an age-set minimum alveolar concentration of 1.0). Two minutes after the application of neuromuscular block, laryngoscopy was started by one of four anesthetists (AO, OO, EA and IG) who are skilled in the use of either instrument. Because of the brevity of this 2-minute period, the sufficiency of neuromuscular block prior to intubation was not formally counted. Every anesthetist had applied more than 500 intubations using the Macintosh laryngoscope and at least 50 intubations using the Frova IC and the VL (McGrath) on patients prior to this study.
Etomidate and Methylprednisolone in Intubation
Group I patients were intubated with a 0.3 mg/kg etomidate IV (Etomidate Lipuro, Braun, Germany) and a 1.2 mg/kg rocuronium IV (Esmeron, Organon, Belgium).
Group II patients were intubated with a 0.3 mg/kg etomidate IV and rocuronium 1.2 mg/kg IV following a 2 mg/kg methylprednisolone IV (Prednol, Mustafa Nevzat, Turkey) given 2-4 minutes before etomidate.
Group III patients were intubated with a 0.15 mg/kg midazolam [7] (link) IV (Dormicum, Roche, France) and 1.2 mg/kg rocuronium IV.
Figure 1 is a flow diagram of all patients intubated during the study period.
The measurements (plasma cortisol level, systolic-diastolicmean blood pressures, heart rates, and SOFA score) were repeated at hours 4 and 24 of the study.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
