Description
This practical resource is a concise guide designed to prepare veterinary technicians to administer anesthesia in animals. It discusses
essential topics such as preanesthetic preparation of the patient, induction procedures, monitoring animals' vital signs during the anesthetic
period, and postoperative care. The operation of anesthetic machines and breathing circuits are described in detail, as well as: the
actions and side effects of anesthetic agents; the physiology of respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure; emergency response; and
specialized techniques such as local anesthesia, postoperative analgesia, and the use of muscle-paralyzing agents and ventilators. In
addition to canine and feline anesthesia, this edition has added information on anesthesia of rodents, rabbits, and other animals used
in research, plus a new section on anesthesia of cattle, horses, small ruminants and pigs.
