Fluorescein Angiography of The Canine Ocular Fundus in Ketamine-Xylazine Anesthesia By

Fluorescein angiografi av hundens ögonbotten i ketamin-xylazin ariestesi.

Abstract

Fluorescein fundus angiography was performed on 30 dogs with no pathologic fundus findings using a Canon CF 60 Z wide angle camera. In serial photography of the dye passage 4 different circulatory phases could be distinguished: choroidal, retinal anteriolar, capillary and venous phase. The dye passage in the retinal vessels was described in detail. For aesthesia the combination of ketamine and xylazine proved to be suitable.

Sammanfattning

Fluorescine fundus angiografi med en Canon CF 60 Z vidvinkel kamera gjordes på 30 hundar som icke visade patologiska förändringar i ögonbottnen. I bilder tagna i serie kunde fyra skilda cirkulationsfaser av fluoresceinflödet åtskiljas: den choroidala, näthinnas arteriola, den kapillära och den venösa fasen. Färgämnets genomflöde i näthinnans kärl beskrevs i detalj. Kombinationen av Ketamin och Xylazin visade sig vara lämplig för anestesin.
