Abstract: Objective To observe the anesthetic effect of pentobarbital sodium iv or isoflurane anesthesia on mini-pig. Methods A total of 10 healthy Bama mini-pigs were equally randomized into two groups. One group was administered with pentobarbital sodium intravenously,and the other group was administered with isoflurane . Changes in narcotic indicators were observed. Results There was no significant difference in the number, body weight, anesthesia performing hours, the adverse reaction rate, SPO2 and pH value between the two groups (P>0.05), but both groups had significant difference in the onset time of anesthesia, postoperative recovery time, the number of cases of intraoperative restlessness, MAP and HR (P<0.05) between the two groups. Conclusion Anesthetic dose of sodium pentobarbital needs to be added during the experiment, while isoflurane anesthesia has better postoperative analgesic effect and less side effects, being a safe and effective analgesic option for different experiments.
