About this title

Synopsis

An accessible guide to small animal anaesthesia for the veterinary practice

The Veterinary Nurse’s Practical Guide to Small Animal Anaesthesia meets the need for a single practical guide to veterinary anaesthesia and its potential complications. Written by practicing veterinary nurses, the guide analyzes each stage in turn, beginning with a discussion of pre-assessment and pre-medication of patients. Most critically, it reviews the normal functioning of each physiological system in small animals before detailing common problems caused in these systems by anaesthesia.

Developed for the day-to-day needs of veterinary nurses, readers will also find:

• Step-by-step guides to addressing specific issues such as GDV, brachycephalic patients, aggressive patients, and more
• Detailed guidelines for interpreting common test results and biometrics such as capnography and ECGs
• Chapters designed for easy reference in specific emergency situations

The Veterinary Nurse’s Practical Guide to Small Animal Anaesthesia is an essential tool for veterinary nurses and veterinary technicians.
