Handbook Of Laboratory Animal Anesthesia And Pain Management Rodents (Pb 2017) Plastic Comb

The Handbook of Laboratory Animal Anesthesia and Pain Management: Rodents is the first comprehensive resource to compile significant advancements in anesthesia and pain management for rodents in biomedical research. Rodents are the most commonly used animals in such research, and those conducting studies are often tasked with ensuring humane practices in anesthesia, analgesia, and postoperative pain management. This book emphasizes the importance of anesthetic agent selection, monitoring, and pain assessment as key components of animal care programs, directly supporting the 3Rs—reducing pain, minimizing distress, and refining procedures. Richly illustrated in full color, the book serves as a quick reference for researchers, veterinarians, technicians, and animal caretakers who manage rodents in research environments. Additionally, it is a valuable resource for Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) members, institutional officials, and occupational health and safety professionals, given its unique format and focus on improving research practices.
