Induction Masks Key Points
Veterinary induction masks are available in various shapes and sizes. They should cover the patients nose and mouth, providing an airtight seal.
Masks manufactured in transparent materials are preferable, to be able to visualise the patient’s tongue and mucous membranes.
Masks with detachable rubber diaphragm usually provide a good seal around the face, but it is important to choose the correct size, to ensure proper fit avoiding leakage and not to create unintended pressure and reduction in venous return causing oedema of the muzzle.
Dead space should be minimised by choosing correct mask shape and size. Avoid using a conical shaped mask for cats.
It often requires sedation to tolerate induction masks.
Masks do not protect airways from aspiration of foreign materials.
Should be cleaned prior to use for different patients.
