- Purpose: treatment of hypotension during anaesthesia.
- Hypotension or respiratory stimulation during anaesthesia
- In foals, noradrenaline is commonly the only catecholamine effective in treatment of hypotension.
- Horses usually develop hypotension during anaesthesia, and maintenance of normal blood pressure has been shown to reduce the incidence of serious post-operative rhabdomyolysis.
- Hence ephedrine, which causes noradrenaline release at the nerve endings, thereby increasing cardiac contractility and obtunding hypotension, is used when dobutamine and dopamine are ineffective.
