“…The method used to collect respiratory data in the present study was an improvement of techniques used in previous studies, 55,[61][62][63] which involved plethysmography with anesthesia, invasive instrumentation, or physical restraint. Though these techniques minimize movement artifacts, acquired respiratory data may not represent physiologic (normal) breathing.…”

“…Conditioning was conducted by placing a snake into the chamber and alternating between 20 minutes of airflow and 10 minutes of no airflow (ie, air inflow and outflow ports closed), with data recorded during the 10-minute period of no airflow. Alternating periods of airflow and no airflow prevented accumulation of CO 2 in the chamber, which can stimulate breathing, 54 increase Vt, increase breath frequency, and increase Ve 35,[55][56][57][58] and allowed for nearly continuous recording for > 8 hours. 18 When the inflow and outflow ports were closed, the pressure transducer detected pressure changes attributable to breathing movements.…”

U ntreated pain and causes of stress in reptiles are associated with immunocompromise, negative energy balance, and delayed wound healing. 1 Welldefined guidelines exist regarding pain assessment and management in mammals, 2-4 but not for reptiles, for which the neural mechanisms of pain are poorly understood and effective analgesic drugs are frequently lacking. [5][6][7][8][9] Consequently, analgesia may infrequently be provided to reptilian patients in practice. 5 Opioids are effective analgesics in turtles and lizards, 10-15 but opioids are inconsistently effective analgesics in snakes, with many opioids failing to provide adequate antinociception in laboratory models of pain. 11,16,17 Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used in practice to mitigate signs of post- Respiratory and antinociceptive effects of dexmedetomidine and doxapram in ball pythons (Python regius)Alyssa A.
