Animal Subjects |  | Case Study Review: Minimize Pain & Distress |
|  |  | Whenever procedures may cause more than momentary pain or distress, the researcher must treat the animals with appropriate anesthetics/analgesics or other assessments. Without adequate documentation, the researcher’s reason for not employing these procedures (assumption of alcohol lessening any perceived pain) would, in all likelihood, be rejected by the IACUC. The IACUC will require the researcher to have the staff administer appropriate anesthetics or analgesics.
