Briefly, 5 6 week old mice were dark-adapted overnight and anaesthetized with intraperitoneal injection of Ketamine and Xylazine (140 mg/kg and 0.5 mg/kg body weight respectively).
Briefly, rats were fasted overnight and anaesthetized with halothane.
Rats were anaesthetized with 1.5 mL 25% urethane solution (∼2 g/kg, i.p).
The rats were anaesthetized with 1.5% isoflurane and connected to a respiratory rate monitor.
Conscious patients were sedated or anaesthetized with midazolam and morphine, etomidate or propofol.
After the feeding period, rats were starved overnight and anaesthetized with pentobarbital sodium [50 mg/kg i.p. (intraperitoneally), Abbott Laboratories].
The mice were anaesthetized with 1.5%% (v/v) isoflurane and each mouse underwent an MRI or CT scan for anatomical reference.
At 20 weeks of age, mice were anaesthetized with 1.5% isoflurane, and two-dimensional echocardiographic views of the mid-ventricular short axis were obtained at the level of the papillary muscle tips below the mitral valve (Vevo 770, VisualSonic, Toronto, Canada).
After 7 days acclimation, rabbits were pre-anaesthetized with Diazepam 0.4 mg kg−1 (Stesolid, Alpharma, Oslo, Norway) i.v. Thereafter, pentobarbital sodium (5%) was administered (i.v). to effect and supplement as needed.
To compare alteration in intestinal blood flow in anaesthetized horses with changes in oral mucosa blood flow.
To examine the influence of direct current shock application in anaesthetized horses with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to study the effects of cardioversion to sinus rhythm (SR).
