In recent years, a number of important developments have been made in equine anaesthesia and analgesia. These include new methods of monitoring the patient, the availability of new drugs and the implementation of new procedures. This book not only covers all the traditional methods of anaesthesia and recent developments, but it provides students and practitioners with essential information on the scientific basis of anaesthesia, as well as giving handy tips on more practical aspects of anaesthesia, such as drug regimens for field anaesthesia.
Covers all the latest developments in equine anaesthesia whilst providing the reader with lots of practical information
Includes detailed coverage of the sciences behind anaesthesia and the drugs used
Easy-to-read format, with lots of bulleted lists and tabulated information
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This manual contains comprehensive information on relevant physiology and pharmacology as well as detailed instruction in the art and science of equine anaesthesia.
It boasts the best chapters on regional anaesthesia in any text on equine anaesthesia." (Equine Veterinary Education, 2007) "...this appears to be a very useful book for veterinary students, nurses and equine clinicians - whatever their area of interest." (Vet Times)
