Use of Modified Custom-made Mask for Induction Technique in Avian Anaesthesia
Keywords:
Avian patients, Induction technique, Modified custom made mask, SevofluraneAbstract
This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of modified custom-made masks in the induction technique of avian anesthesia. The study was conducted on 24 clinical avian cases undergoing minor or major surgical procedures. A modified custom-made face mask was found conveniently useful for induction of anesthesia in avian patients with widely diverse anatomical features. Modified custom-made mask induction was observed superior, safer, and cost-effective. It produced an effective induction procedure, minimum requirements of physical restraint, and simplified management.
