Effect of Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation on Depth of Anaesthesia during and after Isoflurane Anaesthesia in Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos (Cacatua galerita galerita)

Table 5

Mean ± SD values for the duration it took for the appearance of the body jerk, shivering, beak, and eye reflexes measured repeatedly after either SV or IPPV in 6 sulphur-crested cockatoos (Cacatua  galerita  galerita) after 1.5% and 3.0% isoflurane anaesthesia.
