Overview

This practical guide to nonhuman primate (NHP) anesthesia and analgesia in research facilities is the first NHP-specific anesthesia resource. It offers an easy-to-navigate manual with diagrams, bullet points, color photos, and quick reference tables. With each chapter authored by an experienced veterinarian, lab animal technician, or zoo animal practitioner, this book includes topics like troubleshooting anesthetic complications, recognizing pain, postoperative care, and behavioral and environmental enrichment. Providing the most updated practices for NHP anesthesia and analgesia, this is an essential reference for veterinarians, technicians, and other research and laboratory personnel working with NHPs. It provides a primary reference for those learning about NHP anesthesia for the first time, as well as a quick refresher for those who have worked with NHPs but are new to specific anesthetic protocols or the particular species.
