Abstract
RECENT allograft experiments on rabbits in our laboratories prompted the development of a simple and safe anaesthetic technique which could be administered by the surgeon to two animals simultaneously. Inhalation techniques require the almost constant attention of another assistant; parenteral barbiturate administration requires repeated and increasingly difficult intravenous injections for maintenance. The following intravenous catheter and continuous technique were therefore devised, based on the standard technique of pentothal induction of anaesthesia in human surgery.
