    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Anesthesiology
    • Laboratory Animal Science

    Background:

    • Achieving consistent and simultaneous general anesthesia in multiple small laboratory animals presents challenges.
    • Existing methods may lack precision or cost-effectiveness for widespread use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and describe a simple, cost-effective apparatus for simultaneous general anesthesia in small animals.
    • To enable consistent and controllable anesthetic delivery for spontaneous respiration.

    Main Methods:

    • The apparatus utilizes an oxygen tank and vaporizer connected to a distribution bottle.
    • A non-return circuit with individual inspiratory and expiratory valves for each animal is incorporated.
    • The system allows for rapid adjustment for precise control of gas flow and anesthetic depth.

    Main Results:

    • The designed apparatus enables simultaneous general anesthesia in multiple small laboratory animals.
    • Anesthesia consistency was maintained over extended durations (many hours).
    • The equipment proved inexpensive to construct and easy to adjust.

    Conclusions:

    • This simple apparatus provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for simultaneous anesthesia in laboratory animals.
    • The design facilitates precise control, ensuring consistent anesthetic depth and gas flow.
    • It is suitable for research requiring prolonged anesthesia in multiple subjects.
