Physiologic measures of nonhuman primates during physical restraint and chemical immobilization

Of 56 physically restrained [during blood collection] primates, 30 (54%) experienced severe metabolic acidosis (p. 866). The animals had more rapid respiration and pulse rates, higher rectal temperatures, and larger base deficit. ... Primates immobilized with ketamine ... had a...
