Ketamine-Medetomidine Anesthesia with Atipamezole Reversal: Practical Anesthesia for Rodents Under Field Conditions

Lab Animal volume 34, pages 48–51 (2005)Cite this article

Abstract

Field studies often necessitate immobilization of animal subjects, but field conditions may complicate the induction of anesthesia. Likewise, researchers must ensure that animals are fully recovered before releasing them. The authors successfully tested an anesthesia induction and reversal regimen under field conditions.
