Novel use of a 3-way stopcock for ventilatory monitoring during anesthesia in small birds
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
A novel system using a 3-way stopcock and intravenous catheter enabled effective ventilatory monitoring and controlled anesthesia in nine birds (70–260 g) undergoing fracture repair. End-expired carbon dioxide was generally maintained near 40 mmHg without complications. This simple method provides a practical alternative for avian anesthesia in general veterinary settings.
