Intruducing the methods of epidural anesthesia on rabbits and evaluating of these methods

Most of epidural andits related drugs surveys are performed in rabbit asan animal model and the results will be used as thebasic of the experiments in human. This reviewstudy was planned in order to discuss the advantagesand disadvantages of epidural anesthesia methods bydetails and with emphasis on clinical experiments ofthe authors of this paper to be used by scholars intheir researches. This study was planned on surveying the 41 papers included 13 papers in surgery approach, 9 papers in caudal approach, 7 papers in percutaneous approach, 3 papers in tail amputation approach and in 9 papers the epidural approaches were unknown. Research sources of this study contained Pubmed, Elsevier, Springer, Magiran, SciVerse Scopus, Web of Knowledge, JAMA-Archives. By assessing the advantages and disadvantages and the ease of epidural procedures, the significant procedures of epidural anesthesia in rabbit as an animal model were mentioned and finally, an applied overall deduction and comprehensive guideline was recommended. Respectively caudal, tail amputation, percutaneous and surgery approaches are recommended.
