title: Midazolam and fentanyl-fluanisone: assessment of anaesthetic effects in laboratory rodents and rabbits.
abstract: The anaesthetic effects of a combination of midazolam, a water-soluble benzodiazepine, and fentanyl-fluanisone were assessed in laboratory rodents and rabbits. This combination of drugs produced good surgical anaesthesia in all of the species investigated. An important advantage of the combination was that it could be administered as a single intraperitoneal injection.
