Physiological monitoring during general anaesthesia is of the utmost importance to ensure adequate oxygen delivery to vital tissues and therefore avoid harm. Indeed, anaesthetic monitoring is associated with reduced peri-anaesthetic risk in small animals. With various international veterinary bodies (AAHA, AVCAA) releasing anaesthetic monitoring guidelines, it is imperative that veterinarians and veterinary nurses have a strong understanding of this topic. This course, run by the Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia Chapter of the ANZCVS, provides high quality, clinically relevant, and practical training in all aspects of anaesthetic monitoring for dogs and cats.
This course consists of readings recommended for candidates sitting their Membership or Fellowship examinations for the Pharmacology Chapter of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists. A paid subscription is required for access to this area.
