Common questions
Chamber induction or mask induction?
Chamber induction is faster and less stressful for rodents, and is the norm before stereotaxic or survival surgery. Mask or nose-cone induction avoids moving the animal and suits short imaging or handling procedures. Most setups use a chamber for induction and a nose cone for maintenance.
Active scavenging or a charcoal canister?
An active line is preferable where the building provides one, since its capacity is not consumed. Charcoal canisters are portable and simple, but they saturate by agent mass rather than by time. Use the planner above to see how quickly your caseload consumes one.
Can I use one vaporizer for different agents?
No. Vaporizers are calibrated for a single agent, and delivering a different agent through one produces an unknown concentration. Buy a vaporizer for the agent you intend to run.
When do I need a mechanical ventilator?
Whenever spontaneous breathing cannot be relied on: thoracic surgery, paralytic agents, or long procedures where respiratory depression is expected. Ventilators are also used to control end-tidal CO2 in imaging studies.
What does the planner actually tell me?
It converts fresh gas flow, vaporizer setting, procedure length, caseload, and station count into liquid agent use, waste-vapour load, and an approximate canister life. It is a planning estimate for budgeting and scavenging design. Vaporizer settings and canister policy remain under veterinary, EHS, and institutional protocol control.
