Blood, 0.05 - 0.1 mL, was collected from the submandibular vein of P. leucopus and from the retro - orbital sinus or from the lateral or medial saphenous veins of larger mammals following inhalant anesthesia (mice, chipmunks: a 20 — 30 % v / v mixture
of isoflurane and propylene glycol) or injectable anesthesia (larger mammals: intramuscular Ketamine (70 - 90 mg / kg) and Xylazine (10 mg / kg)-RRB-.

Researchers, including one from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at CalTech, a chemist from the University
of Copenhagen and an anesthesiologist from the University
of Michigan Medical School, studied three anesthetic gases:
isoflurane, desflurane and sevoflurane.
The other two gases have significantly less impact:
isoflurane is only a third as powerful a greenhouse gas as is desflurane and sevoflurance has only an eighth
of desflurane's effect.
Rats were then exposed to a mixture
of approximately 2 %
isoflurane, 6 to7 % oxygen, and 92 % nitrogen.
Once surgery was completed, the rats were exposed to a gas mixture
of approximately 2 %
isoflurane and air, and blood gas measurements were made with a Ciba - Corning 860 Blood Gas Analyzer (Siemens, Norwood, MA).
Around 1 − 3 × 106 cells were injected subcutaneously into the dorsal flanks
of nude mice (CByJ.Cg - Foxn1nu / J) anesthetized with
isoflurane.
Adult Sprague - Dawley male rats (320 — 350 g; n = 6) were anesthetized with
isoflurane (1.5 — 2 % maintenance; in room air), placed into a spinal unit apparatus (Stoelting, Wood Dale, IL, USA) and a partial Th12 — L1 laminectomy performed using a dental drill (exposing the dorsal surface
of L2 — L5 segments).
Lpar2 - / - CD4 + T cells were labeled with 5 μM CMTMR (Thermo Fisher Scientific), mixed with an equivalent number
of WT CD4 + T cells, and injected into recipient mice (5 x 106 cells / mouse); 15 — 25 hr later, the mice were anesthetized using
isoflurane admixed with O2.
In brief, following induction
of anesthesia with
isoflurane (2.0 %
isoflurane, 98 % O2), examinations were performed with the system's 30 - MHz linear probe.
Eight days after inoculation mice were injected intraperitoneally (IP) with 75 mg / kg
of D - luciferin in 150 μl PBS and imaged 15 min later under
isoflurane anesthesia in a Xenogen IVIS Spectrum.
Of the 14 dogs who regurgitated, 9 received sevoflurane and 5 received
isoflurane.
For birds and exotic pets that require surgery, the Veterinary Center provides comprehensive surgical care with state -
of - the - art surgical monitoring (including electrocardiography, respiratory, blood pressure, and temperature monitoring) and the safest
isoflurane anesthesia.
Includes: routine spay or neuter in our fully equipped surgical suite, at or about six months
of age; pre-surgical physical exam; pre-anesthetic blood screening; i.v. catheter and fluids;
Isoflurane gas anesthesia with intraoperative monitoring
of all vital signs by our licensed nurses, using state
of the art equipment; postoperative antibiotics and pain preventives.
We use balanced anesthesia — the intelligent combination
of sedation, analgesia (pain control), induction (usually by IV injection), maintenance anaesthesia (usually with
isoflurane gas), and patient monitoring (pulse oximeter, blood pressure monitor).
Our anesthesia protocol with this patient was routine for the procedure
of a PMI — premedication with Midazolam and Buprenorphine, induction with Etomidate, intubation and maintenance with
Isoflurane.
Our anesthesia protocol with this patient started routinely for the procedure
of a thoracic surgery — premedication with Midazolam and Buprenorphine, induction with Etomidate, intubation and maintenance with
Isoflurane.
Eleven animals (11 %) required supplemental anesthesia (
isoflurane by mask) to maintain an adequate plane
of surgical anesthesia.
Although anesthesia can never be risk free, the use
of modern gas anesthetics such as sevoflurane and
isoflurane, sophisticated monitoring equipment, as well as intravenous catheters and IV fluids have greatly improved the safety
of general anesthesia.
We use
isoflurane for all
of our procedures requiring inhalant anesthesia, thus ensuring the safest anesthetic procedure that we can provide for our patients.
Due to the nature
of prairie dogs, most testing is done under gas (usually
isoflurane) anesthesia.
Anesthesia should always be maintained with an inhalant gas such as Sevoflurane or
Isoflurane, as additional doses
of induction agents will unnecessarily prolong recovery.
On the other side more
of the dose
of sevoflurane that the animal receives gets metabolized by the liver (still a very small percentage but proportionately a great deal more than
isoflurane)-- the metabolites
of these drugs have some potential to do the animal harm.
In discussing the difference between
isoflurane and sevoflurance, Professor Peter J. Pascoe, BVSc, DVA, DACVA, DipECVAA, Department
of Surgical and Radiological Sciences, School
of Veterinary Medicine, University
