AI Article Synopsis
- The field of lizard sedation and anesthesia is progressing with new drug protocols and locoregional techniques being developed and tested.
- Achieving effective and safe chemical restraint in lizards, especially those with health issues, can be difficult.
- Knowledge of lizard anatomy and physiology, along with the use of reversible injectable anesthetics, can improve chemical restraint quality, enhance recovery speed, and reduce risks associated with anesthesia.
Article Abstract
The field of lizard sedation, anesthesia, and locoregional anesthesia is advancing with new drug protocols being evaluated, and new locoregional techniques being developed and evaluated. Inducing and maintaining effective and safe chemical restraint in lizards can be challenging, particularly in systemically diseased individuals. Understanding the anatomic and physiologic adaptations of lizards, using reversible or partially reversible injectable protocols, and using locoregional anesthesia may increase the quality of chemical restraint, facilitate faster recoveries, and limit anesthesia-related morbidity and mortality.
