    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    This book provides a basic, practical understanding of anesthesia for the commonly used rodent species: rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, and gerbils. The main foci are to understand the basic anesthetic machine and commonly used breathing circuits, anesthetic agent pharmacology, pain management, pre-, peri- and post-operative care, and other select, special techniques. The book is informative, user-friendly, and easily understood. It focuses on essential matters to achieve safe and sound anesthesia and on topics relevant to research study and interest.

    Long description:

    Rodents are the most commonly used species in biomedical research. Individuals conducting rodent research are often responsible to ensure that all areas of anesthesia and analgesia are performed humanely. Anesthetic agent selection, anesthetic monitoring, and postoperative pain assessment and management are essential to the institutional animal care and use program and contribute significantly to the 3Rs by reducing pain and/or distress and refining various procedures.


    The Handbook of Laboratory Animal Anesthesia and Pain Management: Rodents is the first book to capture multiple advances in this important area that greatly impacts various experimental methodologies. Richly illustrated in full color, the book serves as a quick reference source for investigators, veterinarians, technicians, and other animal caretakers charged with the care and use of rodents in a research setting. The unique format of this book also makes it extremely valuable to IACUC members, institutional officials, and occupational health and safety professionals.


    Key features:


  • Presents practical information in easily accessible ‘bullet point’ format


  • Covers anesthetic machine and related equipment, anesthetic management and monitoring, anesthesia and analgesia pharmacology, euthanasia, and record keeping



  • Written by well-recognized experts in the laboratory animal community



  • Provides extensive references to direct the reader to sources for further study of alternative techniques and their procedures


  • Concludes with a thorough chapter on Regulatory Management of Rodent Anesthesia which has global application
