Effect of buprenorphine delivered by target-controlled infusion on the minimum alveolar concentration of isoflurane in cats
Although buprenorphine significantly affected MACiso in cats, the magnitude of the effect and the plasma concentration at which the largest effect occurred was highly variable among cats, limiting the clinical usefulness of buprenorphine as an agent to reduce MAC in cats.
