The Veterinary Nurse's Practical Guide to Small Animal Anaesthesia Summary

The Veterinary Nurse's Practical Guide to Small Animal Anaesthesia by Niamh Clancy (Royal Veterinary College, UK)

An accessible guide to small animal anaesthesia for the veterinary practice

The Veterinary Nurses Practical Guide to Small Animal Anaesthesia meets the need for a single practical guide to veterinary anaesthesia and its potential complications. Written by practicing veterinary nurses, the guide analyzes each stage in turn, beginning with a discussion of pre-assessment and pre-medication of patients. Most critically, it reviews the normal functioning of each physiological system in small animals before detailing common problems caused in these systems by anaesthesia.

Developed for the day-to-day needs of veterinary nurses, readers will also find:

  • Step-by-step guides to addressing specific issues such as GDV, brachycephalic patients, aggressive patients, and more
  • Detailed guidelines for interpreting common test results and biometrics such as capnography and ECGs
  • Chapters designed for easy reference in specific emergency situations

The Veterinary Nurses Practical Guide to Small Animal Anaesthesia is an essential tool for veterinary nurses and veterinary technicians.

The Veterinary Nurse's Practical Guide to Small Animal Anaesthesia Reviews

"This book would make an excellent addition to any anaesthetic VNs bookshelf, and will definitely become a go-to book of choice for those working in this field. This is one of the few anaesthesia based textbooks, that not only has VNs as the target audience, but is written by them too.
Helpful top tips provide great information and handy ideas for thereader and the book contains case reports on anaesthetic planning and preparation for a variety of patients, including for compromised and emergency patients."
- Claire Carr, Head Vet Nurse at Vets4Pets Leeds Birstall. Published inVet Record(Nov 23)

"it is hoped that the publication of this book will empower RVNs with knowledge that can help them provide anaesthesia management that is as safe as possible for those in their care."
- RVC News, May 23

This book by our anaesthesia RVNs is built up from many years working in a highly collaborative and supportive team environment and it's great to see this team passing on their knowledge, expertise and experience to empower others in their learning.
It's an essential read for anyone doing anaesthetics; VNs and vets in clinical practice, to help them gain confidence in being able to deal with all aspects of small animal anaesthesia."
-Perdi Welsh, Director of Veterinary Nursing, Principal Teaching Fellow and Course Director for Certificates in Advanced Veterinary Nursing and School of Veterinary Nursing at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC)

"The specialist anaesthesia nurses covered a variety of skills and qualifications, including an American Vet Tech Specialist (VTS) in anaesthesia and analgesia plus RVNs with the national certificate in anaesthesia and analgesia plus a PGCert AVN in anaesthesia and analgesia.
The guide breaks down the anaesthetic process, discussing choice of anaesthetic agents and monitoring equipment and features case studies involving commonly occurring challenges and approaches to these. Each chapter ends with a quick reference guide for emergency situations."
