Anaesthesia for Veterinary Nurses
Synopsis:
It is vitally important that veterinary nurses are familiar with the many different anaesthetic methods in order to make the right selection for the particular animal being treated. This can make the difference between the survival of the animal or its death.
Description
Sedation and anaesthesia are a crucial part of veterinary practice. The protocols and methods involved are often complex and vary considerably from animal to animal. The veterinary nurse has a pivotal role in anaesthesia, being directly involved before, during and after the anaesthetic period. This is one of the only books to address the needs of veterinary nurses. This book provides detailed coverage of the physiological, pharmaceutical and physical aspects of anaesthesia, and contains detailed sections on rabbits, rodents, birds, reptiles, and larger animals. Essential information for trainee veterinary nurses, student nurses and practising veterinary nurses The only anaesthesia book written for veterinary nurses Written in a clear and accessible way by veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses Suitable for those with or without previous subject knowledge
