Anesthesia and Analgesia in Laboratory Animals, 3rd Edition
By Richard Fish, Peggy Danneman, Marilyn Brown, Alicia Karas
Anesthesia and Analgesia in Laboratory Animals, 3rd Edition provides the reader with agents, methods and techniques for anesthesia and analgesia that ensure humane, reproducible, and successful procedural outcomes. Sections cover ethical, regulatory and scientific considerations, principles of anesthesia and analgesia, anesthetic equipment and monitoring, periprocedural care, including dedicated chapters to the assessment and management of pain in laboratory species, and practical considerations by species, including relevant anatomy, physiology, and behavior of a broad range of lab animal species.
Anesthesia and Analgesia in Laboratory Animals, 3rd Edition will be a complete reference for veterinarians involved in lab animal research as well as senior graduate, graduate students, post-docs and researchers who utilize animals in biomedical research.
Provides researchers with the most comprehensive and up-to-date review of the use of anesthesia and analgesia in laboratory animals
Includes complete coverage of agents’ impact in research outcomes
Thoroughly updated with new material on ferrets, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and cephalopods
Covers hot topic areas such as pain research, ethical issues, legal issues and imaging studies
