Laboratory Animal Anaesthesia and Analgesia, Fifth Edition provides a basic guide to anesthesia for a very diverse audience involved in animal testing. This has been the go-to resource for current, clear and evidence-based information for over 30 years. The book is divided into four parts that deal with preparation for anesthesia, including definitions, equipment, preparations, anesthetic and analgesic agents, the management and monitoring of anesthesia, including pre-procedural preparations, monitoring and problems and emergencies through the procedure, advanced and specialized techniques, and analgesia and post-operative care, including recovery and the prevention and management of post-operative pain.
Final sections cover anesthesia in common laboratory species, specifically: rodents, rabbits, cats, dogs, ferrets, pigs, sheep and goats, primates, reptiles, amphibians and new specific chapters on birds, fish and cephalopods. This edition keeps up with the tradition of bringing a balanced dose of practical advice, foundational content, and current, updated references, drugs and procedures to veterinarians, technicians, researchers and ethics committee personnel.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
*4 stars* "...the go-to resource for current, evidence-based information in laboratory animal anesthesia and analgesia for over 30 years. This fifth edition... includes the important topic of analgesia instead of strictly laboratory animal anesthesia.... [P]resents introductory information and guidance on the most appropriate and effective anesthesia regiment and perioperative care.... [A]ims to provide a greater emphasis on oversight in pain management [with] the most recent scientific advances and highlight the importance of pain management as part of the anesthetic plan. [U]seful as an introduction to anesthesia and analgesia concepts for new investigators, and as a reference text for experienced scientific researchers working with animals. [P]rovides great updates on recommendations for best practices in animal anesthesia and analgesia specific to the laboratory animal field. [A] very [book] useful and can serve strictly as reference manual or as a foundational book." -- (c)Doody's Review Service, 2023, Nicole Herndon, DVM, DACLAM (University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign)

Paul Flecknell is a veterinarian with over 35 years of experience working with laboratory animals. He is a Diplomate of the European Colleges of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia and Laboratory Animal Medicine and an honorary Diplomate of the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine. He has PhD in physiology, and is currently Professor of Laboratory Animal Science in the Institute of Neuroscience at Newcastle University. His main research interests are anaesthesia and analgesia of all species of animals and in particular the development of methods of pain assessment. He is the head of the Pain and Animal Welfare Science (PAWS) group at Newcastle. The group's current research work is focussed on novel methods of "cage-side? assessment of pain, particularly using "pain faces? and developing methods of measurement of affective state in rodents.
