Abstract
Eighteen adult, clinically healthy, Pashmina and Bakerwal goats undergoing laparoscopy-assisted embryo transfer were randomly divided into three equal groups (I, II, III) and injected lignocaine hydrochloride (@ 4.0mg/kg) or ropivacaine hydrochloride (@1.0mg/kg or 0.5mg/kg) at the lumbosacral epidural space, respectively. Pulse oximeter designed for application on human finger was used to record haemoglobin saturation (SpO2) values. The SpO2 values in 2 2 goats of Gr-I, II and III varied from 77.00±4.80 to 87.00±2.00%, 83.66±5.88 to 90.00±0.92% and 89.40±2.88 to 93.00±0.51%, respectively. Goats of Gr-I showed significantly (P<0.05) lower values than Gr-II and III continuously during initial 45 min following induction. The SpO2 values varied from 81.58±2.47 to 89.08±1.18% in 2 Bakerwal and 85.16±3.54 to 90.50±1.70% in Pashmina goats. It was concluded that the pulse oximetry is a useful, inexpensive and easy technique to quickly detect changes in oxygen saturation
