| Abstract | |
Peritonitis persists with high incidence and mortality in horses, requiring more innovative and effective therapeutic strategies. The aim of this randomized clinical trial study was to evaluate ceftriaxone peritoneal fluid concentration after intraperitoneal (IP) and intravenous administration, Tenckhoff’s catheter use, and intraperitoneal route in horses. Ten adult horses were divided into two groups of five animals. Both groups underwent laparoscopy for Tenckhoff’s catheter insertion. The intraperitoneal group (GIP) received 25 mg/kg of ceftriaxone diluted in 1 liter of 0.9% saline solution (SS) intraperitoneally every 24 hours for 5 days. For the intravenous group (GIV) was administered 25 mg/kg of ceftriaxone intravenously and 1 liter of SS every 24 hours for 5 days. Both groups were followed clinically and biochemically through: complete blood count, fibrinogen and plasmatic drug concentration; macroscopic, physical chemistry, cytological and drug concentration in peritoneal fluid ; sonographic and laparoscopic evaluation in order to assess the catheter permanence effects and the aggression potential of the drug to peritoneum. Intraperitoneal use of the drug did not induce local or systemic inflammation and resulted in concentrations above minimum inhibitory concentration for longer than 24 hours. The Tenckhoff catheter proved to be an appropriate route for intraperitoneal solutions administration and no complications from its use was observed, amplifying the possibilities for intraperitoneal route using.
