Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing

Comparison of the effects of various airway devices on hemodynamic response and WTc interval in

rabbits under general anaesthetic, Toman Huseyin et al., Jan 2015

This study investigates the effect of various airway devices on Rabbits using differing

cardiovascular parameters such as heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), ECG traces and,

specifically, the QT interval on the ECG trace was measured. Results from this study showed that

the Rabbit v-gel® devices affected haemodynamic (cardio vascular) parameters less than both

endotracheal tubes and human supraglottic airway devices.

We are very pleased with the cat v-gels® in our Radiation TherapyDepartment. We no longer have tracheitis in those patients receivingtreatments on a daily basis. Our exotics department is using the rabbitvgels® and they too love them. It's so much better than intubating them.

Chris Allen, University of Slovakia, Student

To be honest I wasn’t sure how it was going go with the staff here at first,however the v-gels® in small animal surgery are being used every single day.It’s like It has always been done this way and ET tubes no longer exist forcats! It’s amazing, I converted from a IV anaesthetic onto inhalationanaesthetic on a draped patient in dorsal recumbency in under 5 minutes(inc circuit set up time!) yesterday for a simple procedure that turned into anightmare.
