Aversion to Desflurane and Isoflurane in Sprague-Dawley Rats (<i>Rattus norvegicus</i>)
Carbon dioxide and isoflurane are widely used for killing rats, yet may not truly achieve “euthanasia”, because they elicit aversion. The inhalant anesthetic desflurane is faster acting than isoflurane, representing a potential refinement. Using an aversion-avoidance paradigm, 24 rats were exposed t...
