AB  - The objective of this study was to determine spectral changes in femoral arterial flow in response to administration of Xylazine (XYL) for sedation. Ten adult dogs weighing between 9 and 16 kg were used in the study. Doppler imaging were performed before and 15-20 min after intramuscular administration of XYL (2% solution, 2.2 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP>, i.m). For the color-coded doppler sonography, a doppler system was used. Once, right femoral artery was localized, the following parameters measured: Peak Systolic (PSV), End Diastolic Velocity (EDV) and Resistive Index (RI). RI was calculated. Duplex scans of femoral artery showed the characteristic triphasic velocity waveform. The mean PSV before sedation was 0.35&plusmn;0.019 m sec<SUP>-1</SUP>. After administration of XYL the mean PSVs significantly decreased to 0.26&plusmn;0.016 m sec<SUP>-1</SUP>, whereas EDV and RI values showed no significant differences.
