Ropivacaine
別名: Naropin
Ropivacaine is a local anesthetic used by your veterinarian to provide targeted pain relief during and after surgical procedures. * It is administered directly into specific areas (like around nerves or the spinal cord) to numb the region. * Because it is long-acting, your pet may experience numbness or mild weakness in the affected area for several hours (typically 3 to 8 hours) after the procedure. * This medication is only administered in a clinical setting by veterinary professionals to ensure strict safety and monitoring.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
用途
- Analgesia (perineural, epidural, or intrapleural)
- Analgesia
給藥方式
可能的副作用
- Cardiac arrhythmias (if injected intravascularly)
- Systemic toxicity (CNS excitation followed by depression, seizures)
- Motor blockade (dose-dependent)
注意事項與禁忌
- Intravenous (IV) administration
- Intravenous regional anaesthesia (Bier block)
- > **Strictly avoid intravenous injection.** Inadvertent intravascular injection may precipitate cardiac arrhythmias that are refractory to treatment. * **Aspiration:** Always aspirate prior to injection to ensure the needle is not in a blood vessel. * **Systemic Absorption:** Lower doses should be used when systemic absorption is likely to be high (e.g., intrapleural analgesia). * **Dilution:** Small volumes can be diluted with normal saline to enable wider distribution for perineural blockade.
藥物相互作用
- Other local anaesthetics: Additive systemic toxicity; dose of ropivacaine should be reduced when used in combination.
- Adrenaline (Epinephrine): Unlike some other local anesthetics, the addition of adrenaline does not appear to significantly alter the duration of the ropivacaine block.
