Wean off gas before the end of procedure
Maintain O2 at low flow rate
KEEP WARM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reptiles: O2
Hypothermia
Respiratory arrest
Cardiac arrest
death
If you run into problems, turn off the inhalant anesthetic and proceed to
treat the patient
Challenging species
Waterfowl
Prone to bradychardia
Hypothermia
Critical recovery period
Challenging Species
Reptiles
Conclusion
Understand anatomy and physiology in
order to design anesthetic plan and
emergency responses
Perform active, aggressive monitoring
Proper thermoregulation is essential
Be prepared!!!
