Anesthesia and Analgesia in Laboratory Animals, 3rd Ed.

Anesthesia and Analgesia in Laboratory Animals focuses on the special anaesthetic, analgesic and postoperative care requirements associated with experimental interventions. This third edition of the ACLAM handbook provides the reader with agents, methods and techniques for anaesthesia and analgesia that ensure humane, reproducible, and successful procedural outcomes. Sections cover ethical, regulatory and scientific considerations, principles of anaesthesia and analgesia, anaesthetic equipment and monitoring, periprocedural care, including dedicated chapters to the assessment and management of pain in laboratory species, and practical considerations by species, including relevant anatomy, physiology, and behaviour of a broad range of lab animal species.

This will be a complete reference for veterinarians involved in lab animal research as well as senior graduate, graduate students, post-docs and researchers who utilise animals in biomedical research.

Key features:

• Provides researchers with the most comprehensive and up-to-date review of the use of anaesthesia and analgesia in laboratory animals
• Includes complete coverage of agents' impact on research outcomes
• Thoroughly updated with new material on ferrets, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and cephalopods
  Covers hot topic areas such as pain research, ethical issues, legal issues and imaging studies
