Sedation and anesthesia 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 anesthesia, being directly involved before, during and after the anesthetic 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 anesthesia, and contains detailed sections on rabbits, rodents, birds, reptiles, and larger animals. This book offers essential information for trainee veterinary nurses, student nurses and practicing veterinary nurses. It is the only anesthesia book written for veterinary nurses. It is written in a clear and accessible way by veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses. It is suitable for those with or without previous subject knowledge.
