In Case of Anesthesia is dedicated to the development of innovative anesthesia equipment and veterinary products for zoo and wildlife species.

The mega-vertebrate demand ventilator is the result of years of research, design, development and field testing by zoo and wildlife veterinarian, Dr. Jeffery R. Zuba; veterinary anesthesiologist, Dr. David Brunson; and veterinary anesthesia equipment design and manufacturer, Bob Pearson.  This device is informally referred to as 'The Elephant' in honor of the mega-vertebrate that inspired its production.  Patent pending.

Mega-vertebrate endotracheal tubes were designed and field tested by Dr. Jeffery R. Zuba with the assistance of zoo and wildlife veterinarian, Dr. Jim Oosterhuis and human/veterinary dentist, Dr. David Fagan.  The technical skills of Don Shawver of Adept Vet were integral in the development and manufacture of these high quality endotracheal tubes.

Thank you for your interest in our products.
