Abstract

The article describes the experience of conducting and developing a scheme for long-term intravenous anesthesia in rabbits within the framework of the scientific and practical school "The Art of Lung Ventilation" in cooperation with the Ural Research Institute for Maternal and Infant Health (SRI OMM) and with the support of LLC Shvabe-Yekaterinburg. In the course of the experiment, the analysis of the effect on rabbits of the developed scheme of long-term intravenous anesthesia was performed. It is worth noting that none of the drugs listed in the scheme can be used as mononarcosis; the desired result can be obtained only in the combined use of drugs according to the proposed method. The work was performed at the Department of Surgery, Obstetrics and Microbiology of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Expertise of the Ural State Agrarian University from September to November 2021. During the entire period of the presented experience, it was not possible to identify clinically significant complications, except for severe hypothermia with prolonged use of drugs. The research results suggest that the indicated anesthesia scheme can be used for both short-term and long-term surgical interventions. It should also be understood that the use of inhalation anesthesia entails the need to use specialized equipment, inhalation apparatus, anesthetics and liquefied oxygen, and this is not always possible in conditions of limited availability of the above equipment.
