Abstract
Injectable anesthetics are used for induction, and less commonly for maintenance of general anesthesia. Intravenous anesthetics can be administered by infusion for variable periods of time (total intravenous anesthesia; TIVA) using infusion devices. Some of these agents can be used for chemical restraint when administered intramuscularly. Injectable anesthetics can be used for short-term general anesthesia when combined with sedatives and analgesics. Each drug has its own advantages, disadvantages, contraindications, and pharmacological features. This chapter gives an overview of anesthetic induction and the use of injectable drugs (injectable-only protocols) in feline anesthesia.
