by Liz Welsh, Year 2006, File Type: PDF

Anaesthesia for Veterinary Nurses 2nd Edition has been written specifically for veterinary nurses by veterinary nurses and veterinary surgeons.  Easy to read and understand, it provides detailed coverage of the physiological, pharmacological and physical aspects of anaesthesia. Fully updated and reflecting recent changes to veterinary nursing qualifications, this second edition is now also illustrated in colour.

Sedation and anaesthesia are a crucial part of veterinary practice, and the protocols and methods involved are often complex and vary considerably from animal to animal.  In addition to cats and dogs, Anaesthesia for Veterinary Nurses contains detailed sections on rabbits, rodents, birds, reptiles, and larger animals.

Suitable for those with or without previous subject knowledge, this book is ideal for quick reference by veterinary nurses and technicians in practice, or for more substantial study by students. Get More: Anaesthesia of Exotic Pets

• Reflects recent changes to veterinary nursing qualifications, current terminology and drugs in use.
• Includes chapters on small mammals, birds, reptiles, and large animals.
• Now illustrated with colour photographs.

The veterinary nurse has a pivotal role in anaesthesia, being directly involved before, during and after the anaesthetic period. I hope that this fully updated edition of Anaesthesia for Veterinary Nurses will help those starting out in their career to navigate the essential physiological, pharmacological and physical principles of anaesthesia, while acting as a useful reference to those dealing with the daily challenges of anaesthetising patients.

In addition, I hope this book provides a platform for the increasing number of nurses specialising in the field of anaesthesia and undertaking further qualifications to advance their knowledge in this challenging and ever – changing discipline.

I definitely recommend this book to those who have an interest in anesthesia and pathogenic conditions associated with it. This book is a great reference and training resource, covering all areas in moderate detail, and overall is a useful little book. It would be equally at home on the shelf of an experienced VN seeking to gain advanced qualifications, as that of the student nurse or veterinary undergraduate.

I’ve been working on improving my anesthesia skills as a vet tech. and purchased this book. So far this book is my favorite. The layout is easy to follow and important points are easy to find. I take it everywhere with me.  Dr. Bicksford.
