Experiences with a new technique of closed circuit anaesthesia used for 1003 surgical cases involving cats and dogs are described. The technique utilises the combined vapors of methoxyflurane and halothane from dual, low-resistance vaporisers situated in series, and supported by low flow rates of 100% oxygen in the inspiratory limb of the anaesthetic machine. This anaesthetic circuit can be adapted for many surgical procedures involving both controlled and spontaneous ventilation techniques and for young and old animals. The technique is considered safe, economical and easily managed and pollution of the operating theatre is eliminated by the use of the completely closed circuit.
