First Time

Similar to human beings, pain is an unpleasant sensation experienced by animals as well. There is no exception when the animals are subjected to experimental procedures. Our duty as researchers/scientists is to prevent or minimize the pain in animals so as to lessen their suffering and distress during experimental procedures. The basics of the physiology of pain and pain perception, analgesia, anesthesia, and euthanasia of laboratory animals were included to complete the program, before the practical part was attempted and before advanced topics, such as comparison of anesthetic combinations, were discussed. Therefore, this course was organized in Sri Lanka for the first time in collaboration with the Comparative Biology Centre of Newcastle University, UK. During this course, we were able to demonstrate how an anesthesia machine could be used in laboratory animal anesthesia for the first time in the country. None of the animal houses in the country were equipped with an anesthesia machine at the time of conducting the course.

Effective and safe CO2 absorption is critical to the anesthesia circle system to prevent rebreathing and hypercapnia. Advances in the original soda lime–based absorbents and their container systems continue to improve patient safety, reducing the risk of compound A and carbon monoxide production, with seemingly little compromise to the efficiency of CO2 absorption capabilities. Scavenging systems and the removal of waste anesthesia gases remain a critical component to anesthesia care, and vigilance to maintain approved systems is a key to operating room staff safety. Advances in anesthesia machine design have resulted in more complicated internal breathing circuits that are increasingly difficult to rid of trace anesthetic gases. This inadvertently led to a necessary change in guidelines on anesthesia machine preparation for patients susceptible to malignant hyperthermia (MH).   This review contains 5 figures, 6 tables, and 59 references. Keywords: carbon dioxide absorption, carbon monoxide, CO2 absorption, compound A, malignant hyperthermia machine preparation, operating room safety, scavenging systems, waste anesthesia gases
