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.
