Effects of Sedation with Medetomidine and Dexmedetomidine on Doppler Measurements of Ovarian Artery Blood Flow in Bitches.

ABSTRACT: The aim was to evaluate if medetomidine and dexmedetomidine affected arterial ovarian blood flow in dogs. The dogs were randomly assigned to two different groups. In Group 1, medetomidine (10 µg/kg) was administered intramuscularly and, in Group 2, dexmedetomidine (5 µg/kg) was used. After a preliminary exam, arterial blood pressure (BP) was measured and a duplex Doppler ultrasonographic examination of both ovarian arteries was performed. Twenty minutes after the administration of medetomidine or dexmedetomidine, BP and ovarian Doppler ultrasonography were repeated. High quality tracings of ovarian artery flow velocity were obtained in all dogs and Doppler parameters: Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV), End Diastolic Velocity (EDV) and Resistive Index (RI) were measured before and after drug administration in the left (LO) and right (RO) ovaries. PSV and EDV values decreased significantly after drug administration (p < 0.05) compared to the non-sedated values, but no differences were found between the LO and RO (p > 0.05). The RI was not affected by drugs administration in neither of the groups studied (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the administration of medetomidine or dexmedetomidine causes a decrease in blood flow velocity in the ovarian artery and may be a good choice to avoid excessive bleeding prior surgeries in which ovariectomy.

Project description:Background Doppler ultrasonography is used to study ovarian vascular characteristics. However, the outcomes are reported with a considerable variability in literature. Here we review the differences in Doppler ultrasound-measured ovarian blood flow indices between women with and without ovarian dysfunction and seeks correlations between Doppler measures and ovarian markers. Methods A literature search was conducted in electronic databases (Google Scholar, Ovid, PubMed, Science Direct, and Springer) to identify studies that used Doppler for ovarian blood flow examination and reported Doppler measures in women with and without ovarian dysfunction and/or the correlations between wDoppler indices and markers of ovarian dysfunction. After quality assessment of included studies, a meta-analysis of weighted mean differences (WMDs) between women with and without ovarian dysfunction in vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI), vascularization flow index (VFI), pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) was performed. Correlation coefficients between Doppler indices and markers of ovarian dysfunction were pooled to achieve overall estimates. Results A total of 27 studies [2,377 women with ovarian dysfunction and 308 controls; age 27.7 years, 95% confidence interval (CI): 26.4 to 29.1] were included. These studies were of moderate quality. The VI (WMD 9.75; P<0.0001), FI (WMD 2.73; P<0.0001), and VFI (WMD 1.29; P<0.0001) were significantly higher whereas PI (WMD −1.08; P=0.001) and RI (WMD −0.26; P<0.0001) were significantly lower in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) than in normal women. In women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), antral follicle count was positively correlated with VI (r=0.24; P=0.001), FI (r=0.42; P<0.0001), and VFI (r=0.25; P=0.002). In women with PCOS, testosterone had statistically non-significant correlations with VI (r=0.40; P=0.081), and VFI (r=0.39; P=0.063) and was inversely correlated with PI (r=−0.30; P<0.0001) and RI (r=−0.48; P<0.0001). In women with PCOS, luteinizing hormone (LH) was inversely correlated with PI (r=−0.26; P=0.086) and RI (r=−0.25; P=0.007). Conclusions Doppler indices are found significantly different in women with and without ovarian dysfunction and have significant correlations with markers of ovarian dysfunction. These results support the use of Doppler ultrasound to examine ovarian dysfunction. High statistical heterogeneity observed herein should be studies in future investigations.
