O2Care Mini-Webinar
14-minute mini-webinar
Room air or supplemental oxygen?
The answer depends on the study.
Oxygen delivery is part of the experimental environment. In this short discussion, Dr. René Remie joins Kent Scientific’s Jeremiah Thomas and Kathy Garner to examine room air, 100% oxygen, and blended approaches—and the questions each can raise for physiology, animal welfare, and data interpretation.
What the discussion covers:
When room air may be sufficient for stable anesthesia.
Why both hypoxia and hyperoxia deserve attention.
How procedure length, monitoring, and study endpoints shape the decision.
Where oxygen blending may offer another option.
Why an intentional, documented approach supports more repeatable

Ready to see O₂Care in action?
If this discussion raised questions about your own protocols, you’re not alone. Many labs are re-evaluating how they manage oxygen delivery during anesthesia.
That’s exactly why we developed the SomnoFlo® O₂Care—a system that allows you to blend and control oxygen and room air in real time, based on the needs of your animal.
SomnoFlo® O₂Care lets research teams select room air or blend it with compressed oxygen at defined settings. See the system, review its specifications, and decide whether it fits your procedures and approved protocols.
