a state of tranquility and calmness
in which the animal is awake,
relaxed, and unconcerned about
tranquilization
its surroundings. The animal is
easily arousable and will respond
to painful stimuli.
, more profound central nervous
system depression than
tranquilization in which the animal
is awake, sleepy, but still able to be
sedation
aroused by stimulation. Minor
manipulations can be performed,
and aggressive animals may be
easier to handle.
reversible loss of sensation to all or
part of the body. Unconsciousness,
analgesia, and hyporeflexia
(relaxation) are characteristic of the
anesthetic state. Additionally, lack
of purposeful movement and
surgical
prevention of undesirable
anesthesia
autonomic responsiveness are
desirable anesthetic characteristics.
Anesthesia is produced by the
administration of drugs that
depress the central and/or
peripheral nervous systems.
, a technique of general anesthesia
based on the concept that
administration of a mixture of small
amounts of several neuronal
depressants (for example, narcotics
balanced
and inhalational agents) maximizes
anesthesia
the advantages, but not the
disadvantages of, the individual
components of the mixture. (from

type of general anesthesia in which
the animal is 'dissociated' from its
surroundings and unaware of
external stimuli. These agents
interrupt neurotransmission
dissociative
between the thalamocortical and
anesthesia
limbic areas of the CNS. The animal
retains some muscle rigidity
(catalepsy); open eyes with
palpebral reflexes; and somewhat
intact swallowing reflexes.
, - Unconsciousness
What are the 5 - Amnesia
necessary - Analgesia (more accurately
components of antinociception)
general - Immobility
anesthesia? - Attenuation of autonomic
response to noxious stimuli
Why is analgesia because when an animal is
NOT a anesthetized it is unconscious and
necessary is therefore it cannot feel pain.
