Why Inhalant Anesthesia?
95% of US Facilities Use Inhalant Anesthesia Because… Fast Safe Cost Effective
Why Inhalant Anesthesia? Fast Induction < 2 minutes Recovery < 2 minutes
Why Inhalant Anesthesia? Safe Quickly Metabolized via Respiration Anesthetic Depth Easily Adjusted Unlikely to Overdose Subject Shorter Recovery Times
Why Inhalant Anesthesia? Cost Effective High Productivity Reuse of Animals for Future Study Lower Mortality Rate Anesthetic Agent Relatively Low Cost No Drug Logs/Special Licenses
Anesthesia Systems One or Two Animals
Anesthesia Systems Multiple Animals/High Volume
Special Applications Molecular Imaging
