Laboratory Animal Anaesthesia: Cat and Dog

This item contained QuickTime films illustrating some anaesthetic techniques for use in the cat and dog. The films were: 1 Inhalation Anaesthesia in the Cat; 2 Intubation Anaesthesia in the Dog; 3 Motor Neurone Blocking in the Dog.

This item was part of Digires (Digital resources for veterinary trainers), a collection of training tools (comprising videos and still photos) designed to be used in the teaching of correct handling, housing, anaesthesia, pain assessment, analgesia and surgery of laboratory animals. They were produced by the Flecknell laboratory at Newcastle University. The Digires website has now been closed down, and the resources are now incorporated into training materials on the Research Animal Training (RAT) website. The Digires image and video collections for tutors are no longer available, as many are now outdated. The Flecknell laboratory has also produced a large range of training materials on specific topics which are available at procedureswithcare.org.uk.

Paul Flecknell has produced a book entitled Laboratory Animal Anaesthesia, suitable for those who are involved in laboratory animal anaesthesia.
