After a 7-day washout period, cats were again randomly allocated to receive treatment L2 or L10, and castration was performed under isoflurane anesthesia following intratesticular administration of 2% lidocaine solution (0.1 mL\/kg). In both experiments, a blood sample for measurement of plasma lidocaine concentration was obtained before (0 minutes) and 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, and 75 minutes after laryngeal administration of lidocaine solution. Anesthesia was discontinued at 60 minutes. Plasma lidocaine concentrations were measured with high-performance liquid chromatography.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>RESULTS<\/jats:bold> After treatments L2 and L10, median maximum plasma lidocaine concentrations were 34.1 ng\/mL (range, 0 to 279.4 ng\/mL) and 93.6 ng\/mL (range, 79.3 to 182.2 ng\/mL), respectively. Time to maximum plasma concentration was 10 minutes (range, 0 to 20 minutes) for each treatment. When cats received intratesticular lidocaine administration following L2 or L10 treatment, median maximum plasma concentration was 181.0 ng\/mL (range, 103.7 to 600.2 ng\/mL) and 301.2 ng\/mL (range, 265.8 to 1,770.0 ng\/mL), respectively.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> On the basis of these data, combined laryngeal and intratesticular administration of lidocaine solution at a total dose of approximately 5 mg\/kg appears to be safe for use in healthy adult cats.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.79.6.614","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,30]],"date-time":"2018-05-30T15:09:50Z","timestamp":1527692990000},"page":"614-620","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Plasma
