Open the catalog to page 1Peri-Anesthetic Hypothermia:an Animal Welfare Concern Hypothermia (body temperature < 97ºF) occurs in up to 80% of anesthetized small animals including rats and mice. This can be due to their small body size relative to surface area, altered peripheral perfusion from sedative, analgesic or anesthetic drugs, inhaling cold gases and heat loss from skin surface or open body cavities. Hypothermia is associated with slow recovery from anesthesia and increased mortality risk. Prevention of peri-anesthesia hypothermia has focused on body surface heat conservation and surface warming using electric...
