Animal Welfare and the Induction of Anesthesia
Speaker: Debra Hickman, Director, Laboratory Animal Resource Center – Indiana University With the recent debate around the use of carbon dioxide as a euthanasia agent for laboratory rodents, additional questions have been raised about the well-being of animals during the induction of anesthesia. In this presentation, we will review the principles of anesthesia and anesthesia overdose (euthanasia) and how to evaluate the well-being of rodents during the entire anesthesia process. We will focus on the wide variety of tools available for the assessment of well-being and how to ensure that one is selecting the appropriate assessment for experimental designs that focus on anesthesia induction. These studies are challenging primarily because the length of time from induction to loss of consciousness is highly variable depending upon the method used. The primary learning objective for this session is to understand the assessment of animal well-being and how to critically apply the appropriate tool during experimental design. |
