This is due to the manipulation of both soft and orthopedic tissues. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the antinociceptive, akinesia, cardiovascular, and plasma-level effects of adding atracurium to intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) with lidocaine in dogs.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Fifty male Mongrel dogs weighing 15\u2009\u00b1\u20095\u00a0kg and aged 2.5\u2009\u00b1\u20090.6 years were premedicated with 0.045\u00a0mg\/kg of atropine sulfate and 0.05\u00a0mg\/kg of acepromazine. While under general anaesthesia, the dogs were randomly allocated into two IVRA groups (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200925\/group): the lidocaine group (LG; 3\u00a0mg\/kg) and the atracurium (0.3\u00a0mg\/kg) combined with the lidocaine (3\u00a0mg\/kg) group (LAG). Following IVRA injections, the toe pinch response and nerve stimulation test were performed, with the contralateral limb serving as its control limb. The mean blood pressure (MAP), pulse rate (PR), respiratory rate (RR), end-tidal carbon dioxide level (EtCO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), rectal temperature, echocardiographic indices, and plasma lidocaine concentrations were measured.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>At 25, 35, 45, and 55\u00a0min post-induction, the LAG exhibited a significantly lower (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u20090.01) nociception limb withdrawal reflex score indicated by an absence of the limb withdrawal reflex (score 1) than the LG, which showed a mild limb trembling (score 2). Moreover, at 30, 40, 50, and 60\u00a0min post-induction, the LAG had an absence of the carpus twitch (score 1) with a significantly deeper degree of nerve block (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u20090.01) compared to the LG. There were no significant differences in the physiological parameters between groups during anesthesia time. Meanwhile, the MAP, PR, and RR were significantly higher (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u20090.05) in the LG than in the LAG post-nociception stimuli and during the recovery period.
