KRUUSE Induction Mask In anaesthesia cases where intubation is not ideal, an induction mask, also known as an face mask, is a good option. The mask can either be used to facilitate anaesthetic induction before intubation, as inhalation anaesthesia maintenance, or as oxygen source pre- or post anaesthesia.

KRUUSE Replacement Diaphragm for Induction Masks Easily replace a worn out or damaged diaphragm instead of buying new masks. Keeping an extra stock of diaphragms in each size will help you save time and resources in your clinic.

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
