| مستخلص: | Electrocardiographic and blood pressure measurements are extremely valuable diagnostic tools in the evaluationof the cardiovascular system of living animals. In this study, 6-lead electrocardiograms were recorded from five male captiveAfrican lions (Panthera leo). Also, blood pressure measurements were recorded and compared from three different sites;fore limb, hind limb and the tail, were recorded. Immobilization was done with a combination of Ketamine Hydrochloride(10mg/kg) and Xylazine (3mg/kg). Measurements were recorded as mean ± standard deviation. ECG readings were analysedusing descriptive statistics while blood pressure readings were compared using ANOVA at a 5% level of significance. Heartrate was 66±11.6 beats per minute. The heart rhythm was sinus in all the animals. Mean Electrical Axis (MEA) was between+810 and +930 degrees (Mean +89±5). Three animals had their MEA between +810 and +890 while two had MEA between+910 and +930. Fore limb measurements for Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DAP) and MeanArterial Pressure (MAP) were 177.6±6.8 mmHg, 157.2±5.9 mmHg and 168.6±5.2 mmHg respectively. Hind limbmeasurements for the SBP, DBP and MAP were 135.4±9.5 mmHg, 120.6±5.9 mmHg and 123.0±6.8 mmHg respectivelywhile the tail measurements for the SBP, DBP and MAP were 149.6±8.3 mmHg, 132.8±5.9 mmHg and 137.2±5.8 mmHgrespectively. There was weak correlation between forelimb vs hindlimb and forelimb vs tail comparisons of SBP, DBP andMAP. However, a strong positive correlation was found between hindlimb and tail comparisons of those parameters. Resultsfrom this study should serve as a guide in the cardiovascular monitoring of captive African Lions immobilized with axylazine-ketamine combination. |
