Abstract:
We have established a new method of anesthesia with nasopharyngeal insufflation for intraoral procedure in rodents. Twelve male Wistar rats weighing 330-390 g were used in this study. Insertion of a feeding tube 1.0 mm in diameter coated with 2% xylocaine jelly was inserted into the nasal cavity approximately 25 mm from the naris, and anesthetization with mixed gas of 100% oxygen with 3-4% enflurane at 0.25-0.5 l/min flow rate was achieved. Using this anesthetic method, a chronic experiment comprising 1-h/day experimental procedure was carried out for 14 days. This method enabled, 1) simple and safe operation of the induction, emergence and anesthetic depth, 2) experimental procedures on the dental/oral region, 3) avoidance of the dyspnea and tachypnea, and 4) avoidance of cumulative effects in daily anesthesia.
