Abstract
This study describes the pharmacokinetics of bupivacaine following administration via an ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy.
Twelve healthy adult cats (3.7 ± 0.7 kg) were included in a randomized, prospective, blinded clinical trial. Anaesthetic protocol included acepromazine-buprenorphine-propofol-isoflurane-meloxicam. Each cat received 1 mL kg-1 of bupivacaine 2% or 2.5% (2 mg kg-1 or 2.5 mg kg-1; BUPI2 and BUPI2.5, respectively) via bilateral two-point TAP block before surgery (n = 6/group). Blood was collected using a dedicated catheter placed into a cephalic vein before (time 0) and at 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 360, and 480 minutes after TAP injection. Plasma concentrations of bupivacaine were analysed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Bupivacaine pharmacokinetics was described using a one-compartment model and non-compartmental analysis.
