title: The effect of ether, pentobarbitone sodium and fentanyl on blood gases, acid-base balance and hematological parameters in the rat.
abstract: Blood gases, acid-base balance and hematological parameters (RBC, PCV and Hb) were measured in adult rats of both sexes. The use of ether and fentanyl had a very little effect on the blood gases and acid-base balance. The induction of pentobarbitone anesthesia, however, was followed by a significant increase in PCO2 and TCO2, while the pH value decreased.
