Development of an 'anaesthetic conserving device' for inhalation anaesthesia in horses Ghent University
For longer procedures, horses are anaesthetized using inhalant anaesthetics, such as isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane. As these are important greenhouse gases, who are very resistant to breakdown in the atmosphere, their use should be kept to a minimum. In human medicine, an 'anaesthetic conserving device' is already marketed, which allows a substantially lower use of isoflurane and sevoflurane. Several adjustments are however required ...
