Propofol–medetomidine–ketamine total intravenous anaesthesia in thiafentanil–medetomidine‐immobilized impala (Aepyceros melampus)

Conclusions and clinical relevanceA propofol–medetomidine–ketamine combination could provide adequate anaesthesia for invasive procedures in impala. The propofol infusion should begin at 0.2 mg kg−1 minute−1 and be titrated to clinical effect. Oxygen supplementation and airway protection with a cuffed endotracheal tube are essential.
