Abstract
Birds have unique anatomical and physiological
characteristics that have significant impacts on anaesthesia. Understanding and
knowing the distinctive feature of the cardiorespiratory system of birds is
important in terms of the method of administering anaesthetics and selecting
suitable anaesthetics. Endotracheal tubes used in birds must be uncuffed since
the inflated cuff may cause necrosis as a result of pressure in the tracheal mucosa. Intubation is risky in small
birds because endotracheal tubes with small internal diameters show significant
resistance to airflow, especially if mucus accumulates in the tubing. Birds do
not have epiglottis. The absence of epiglottis increases the aspiration leak sensitivity
that is shaped before or right after the application of anaesthesia. In birds,
injections made in the caudal area such as legs are eliminated by the
renal-portal system before being engaged in the systemic circulation. Since the
pectoral muscle mass is weak (minimal) in flightless birds, the hip muscles are
preferred as the place of injection. In wild birds, similar to mammals,
different anesthetic agents are commonly used.
