Inhalation Anesthesia in the Chinchilla
Abstract
Inhalation anesthesia techniques which successfully induce surgical anesthesia in chinchilla villidera are described and compared. Isoflurane- nitrous oxide and halothane-nitrous oxide delivered by a nonrebreathing system are compared to halothane-nitrous oxide delivered by a semiclosed system. Thirty six laboratory raised adult chinchillas in three groups were used in this study. All achieved surgical anesthesia with no deaths. Time to loss of righting reflex, time to surgical anesthesia, duration of surgical anesthesia, and time from end of surgical anesthesia until standing unaided were recorded. Findings indicate that isoflurane-nitrous oxide delivered by a non-rebreathing system provides superior results.
