The case for nonrebreathing circuits for very small animals

D S Hodgson. Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 1992 Mar.

Abstract

The advantages of using modern nonrebreathing systems in very small patients far outweighs the few disadvantages. Their use results in more precise control of anesthetic depth, better ventilation and gas exchange, and a lower incidence of mechanical problems.
