Q

While monitoring an animal under isoflurane anesthesia on a partial rebreathing system, your oxygen tank is getting low. The surgery is going to take longer than expected and you realize you will run out of oxygen before the surgery is over. What is the best course of action?

A

Have a colleague prep a second isoflurane anesthesia machine for you with an appropriate amount of oxygen. Then, disconnect the patient from the first machine and reconnect to the second machine.
If no other anesthetic machine is available, have a colleague get another oxygen tank with enough oxygen, disconnect the patient from the machine and quickly, reattach the new tank, and reconnect the patient to the machine.
