Anesthesia and Analgesia in Nontraditional Laboratory Animal Species

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter addresses anesthesia and analgesia of more commonly used unconventional species, including special physiologic considerations, structural peculiarities, methods for anesthetic administration. Relatively few agents have been in invertebrates. More commonly, invertebrates such as Drosophila Caenorhabditis are to study molecular activity, mutagenicity, fertility effects inhalant anesthetics. Thus, indirectly, several shown be safe effective when administered Unfortunately, many researchers conduct invasive potentially painful studies on using no at all. Invertebrates possess functional nervous systems pain perception analogous that vertebrates; therefore, procedures performed without appropriate should not tolerated any species. Opioid-like compounds described invertebrates, butterflies, blowflies, cockroaches, earthworms, snails, octopus. Based research investigations carried out so far, it is reasonable assume most, if all, opioid receptors processing similar these creatures, provided with anesthetics analgesics subjected procedures.
