Laboratory
Animal Anesthesia General Description "In general, this is a concise, clearly-written, inexpensive volume brimming with practical information on laboratory animal anesthesia. It will make a valuable addition to any laboratory animal reference library." Patricia V. Turner in INTERFACE
The use of
safe and effective anesthetic techniques can have a major influence both
on the welfare of laboratory animals and the quality of the research
results obtained in using them. In times of justified public and
scientific concern over such issues, the need for clear and concise advice
on good technique is of paramount importance. However, much anesthetic
work in the laboratory is carried out by research workers and support
staff who have not benefited from specialist veterinary training. This
second edition of Paul Flecknell's invaluable guide gives just the sort of
clear, concise, practical information such people need. It follows all
the key stages from preoperative care through anesthesia itself to the
post-anesthetic recovery period. Following these general sections, there
are specific instructions on regimes for particular laboratory animals,
with advice on recommended agents, dosages, and special procedures of
importance. Particular emphasis is placed on welfare, pain reduction,
and proper post procedural care. The Second Edition of this guide, now
considered a standard in the field, compiles the results of the latest
research, most effective anesthetics and useful illustrations of
procedures and equipment and broadens the original book's coverage to
include notes on fish, amphibian, reptiles, and birds. It will prove an
essential addition to the
library of any laboratory where animals are used for research. Glossary.
