Abstract
Halogenated inhalation anesthetics offer several advantages over injectable anesthetics for small-animal surgery. Benefits include rapid induction, easy adjustment of anesthetic depth, and a short period of recovery. Although the cost of most inhalation anesthetics is low, present delivery systems are often prohibitively expensive for rodent uses. This report describes a low-cost, portable system that can be used with halothane or isoflurane for general surgery or stereotaxic applications with or without intubation. Also included is a description of rodent nose cones for both general surgery and stereotaxic surgery that allow for simple evacuation of waste gases.
