SURGICAL PROCEDURES

The CMGI does not provide support for surgical procedures, but the CMGI procedure room (0662) can be used for animal dissection as part of biodistribution studies. The adjacent GBSF vivarium has 3 procedure rooms for PIs to conduct small animal surgeries. These rooms are provided with an isoflurane anesthesia unit, but PIs must provide all surgical instruments and supplies. Room reservations and additional information are available at http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/ars/procedure_rooms.html; reservations can also be made by telephone (752-1390). Animals from outside the GBSF vivarium must receive prior approval from the Health Monitoring Coordinator (animaltransfer@ucdavis.edu) before they can be brought into the vivarium.
