Pig is an animal species that preferred in experimental studies for human surgery. The variation of the reaction to the sedative, ataractic and anesthetic agent and the inclination to respiratory depression makes it necessary to choose reliable anesthetic methods for the pigs. Inhalations anesthesia is a reliable method in surgery procedures more than 60 minutes.
Inhalations anesthesia in pig is realized by mask technique or intubation application in pig. In this stud}, pigs were prcmedicated by intramuscular administration of 0.03 mg/kg atropine and 3 mg/kg xylazin. The anesthesia protocol was scheduled to be contiuned by 10 mg/kg intramuscular ketamine then 10 mg/kg intraveno/ thiopental and followed by inhalation anesthesia.
Intubation tuhes modified by us have been used in this study, inhalation anesthesia has been applied by the mask technique in 4 cases and by intubation in 6 eases. Haloihane or isoflurane has been used in inhalation anesthesia.
As a result of research, concerning anesthesia quality and reliability inhalation anesthesia method which is used in all types surgery is found to be the satisfactory one.
