Description
The use of safe and effective anaesthetic 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 concerns over such issues, the need for clear
and concise advise on good technique is of paramount importance.
However, much anaesthetic 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
thorough anesthesia itself to the post - anaesthetic 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 now standard guide adds 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, amphibia, reptiles and birds.
It will prove an essential addition to the library of any laboratory
where animals are used for research.
