EFFECT OF INDUCED HYPERTENSION ON PHYSIOLOGICAL AND HAEMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS IN MURRAH BUFFALO

摘要

The study was conducted in twelve numbers of female Murrah buffalo dividing in to two groups, each of six numbers. One as control and other group as experimental animals. Physiological and haemodynamic parameters were studied in both groups, in experimental group, 2000 ml of normal saline solution was introduced to each animal through two intravenous routes within 20 minutes. There was non-significant variation of rectal temperature at 15 and 25 minutes after induced hypertension. The mean respiratory rate at 15 minutes of induced hypertension increased non-significantly and at 25 minutes after induced hypertension the mean value of respiration was significantly (p< 0.01) increased compared to control group. Post exposure the heart rate was nonsignificantly increased at 15 minute from control group. At 25 minute of induced hypertension the mean heart rate also increased non-significantly from the mean of 15 minutes. The pulse rate significantly (p< 0.05) increased from control at 15 and 25 minutesafter induced hypertension respectively. The pulse deficit was non-significantly increased at 15 and 25 minutes after induced hypertension. The mean value of blood volume increased significantly (p< 0.05) at 25 minutes of induced hypertension. The present study helps the clinician to diagnose the hypertension in buffalo and it can be elaborated in diagnosis of hypertension in other animal also.
