Every patient is different - so is every anesthetic procedure! Species, age, health status, and treatment goals: many factors must be considered when planning a professional anesthesia. The diverse indications and patients - from dogs to turtles - as well as the high expectations of pet owners demand a fundamental understanding of this field. The second completely revised edition conveys, as usual, detailed and comprehensive information on the technical and pharmacological foundations, as well as the practical implementation of injection and inhalation anesthesia. The recognized author team from practice, science, and education takes into account current research findings as well as relevant legal regulations. This book serves to impart solid knowledge of the complex subject of anesthesia, analgesia, and intensive care medicine.
