A comprehensive textbook covering the key principles of veterinary anaesthesia, encompassing a wide range of species. Information is summarised in a simple, reader-friendly format, but still provides the detail you need for an advanced level of study. The easy-reference structure is designed to help you identify and access topics of interest quickly. Over 180 photographs and line drawings illustrate the scientific principles, equipment and the techniques you need to know about. A self-test section at the end of every chapter helps you to learn and revise each topic.
As well as the technical and species-based chapters, you will find useful chapters that you can refer to as part of your daily practice:
Quick Reference Guide to Analgesic Infusions
Trouble-shooting for common problems encountered in anaesthetised patients
Anaesthetic Machine Checks
Canine, Feline and Equine Emergency Drug Dose Charts
Designed specifically for veterinary students and those preparing to take advanced qualifications in veterinary anaesthesia. It is also a useful reference for veterinarians in practice and advanced veterinary nurses and technicians.
