- Abstract
The article presents information concerning animal anesthetizer, which is a device used reliably for administering volatile anesthetics to most laboratory animals. Various components needed for construction of an animal anesthetizer include an air pump, plastic tubing, two metal connectors, plastic-covered steel cord, to name only a few. It is reported that the anesthetizer can be used for surgical procedures involving the removal of endocrine glands, skin and tumor transplants, and brain lesions and for exploratory surgery. The anesthetizer is said to be particularly convenient for minor surgical procedures since the animal can be anesthetized in about a minute, as compared to several minutes required by barbiturates.
