The effects of intravenous halothane (5%) in ethanol were studied in sheep premedicated with diazepam administered intramuscularly @ 0.5 mg/kg body weight. Ten min after the administration of diazepam, halothane was given as a drip @ 2.55 drops/kg/min. After induction, anaesthesia was maintained up to 60 min. During the period, the animals were observed for respiratory rate, heart rate and any untoward reaction. The onset of anaesthesia, the rate of administration, total dose of the anaesthetic required for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia and recovery time were determined. All the animals recovered smoothly within 5 min of discontinuation of halothane. No significant changes were recorded in cardiopulmonary parameters, except for an increase in heart rate and transient decrease in respiratory rate. The results suggested that intravenous administration of 5% halothane in ethanol could be used for induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia in sheep under constant monitoring.
