Anesthesia of the rabbit.

The authors evaluate the results of 150 anesthesias of rabbits in experimental surgery employing various operations. The use of Alfathesin leads to rapid and deep anesthesia with awakening occurring in very good conditions. The technique isparticularly recommended for short operations. Satisfactory cardiovascular and respiratory conditions can be maintained by tracheal intubation together with artificial ventilation, which allows for long and difficult surgical procedures.
