Small Animal Anesthesia and Pain Management A Color Handbook 3rd Edition PDF.
In this thoroughly updated and much expanded third edition, this book provides comprehensive coverage of the world of veterinary anesthesia and pain management. Opening with a detailed exploration of inhalant anesthetic equipment and its essential accessories, emphasizing the crucial role of preoperative blood work and its interpretations, coverage continues with a systematic introduction to clinical anesthetic practice, encompassing premedication drugs and dosages, intravenous induction options, and concluding in a discussion of modern inhalant anesthetics. These chapters shine a spotlight on a newly approved drug, showcasing the practical application of Zenalpha® (medetomidine and vatinoxan) for a range of sedative and anesthetic combinations in dogs and cats.
Updated chapters also cover a wide range of scenarios and procedures, including:
Injectable and sedative combinations.
Monitoring anesthetic depth and antinociception, utilizing EEG (electroencephalography) and Parasympathetic Tone Analysis (PTA) devices.
Comprehensive guidance on intervening in cases of abnormalities.
Anesthetic considerations, management, and interventions.
Anesthesia for minimally invasive endoscopic procedures and regular endoscopy.
Locoregional blocks, including both traditional and ultrasound-guided methods.
Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and photobiomodulation therapy.
This clinically focused text draws upon practical experience and clinical evidence from various sources. It provides drug dosages and anesthetic protocols in tabular form, complemented by over 400 illustrations that enhance comprehension and visual clarity.
Small Animal Anesthesia and Pain Management has become a cornerstone in veterinary practice education and, with this third edition, it continues to provide invaluable practical information for small animal practitioners, veterinary technicians/nurses, as well as veterinary and veterinary nursing students.
