Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is frequently used in patients under general anesthesia during invasive procedures. Invasive animal experiments similarly require the maintenance of normal hemodynamic and pulmonary parameters during long-term general anesthesia. The authors describe a method for mechanical ventilation of mice. Mice were ventilated and monitored for up to 8 h of general anesthesia during surgery. Hemodynamic and pulmonary parameters remained within the normal ranges. The authors believe that this ventilation technique can be of great value for experimental procedures in mice that require general anesthesia.
