Supplies and technical considerations for ruminant and swine anesthesia.
These authors hope that this article will augment the ability of the practitioner to procure and successfully use the appropriate catheter and ancillary supplies for any aspect of ruminant and swine anesthesia. Although we recognize that the cost of these supplies may be a limiting factor in their use, we hope that options discussed in this article will facilitate the preparation of direct intravenous lines in increasing numbers of anesthetic procedures in the future. The driving force for this article is to facilitate the anesthetic experience for animal and veterinarian alike and--as always--to preserve life by practicing the best possible and affordable medicine under every situation.
