Overview
Overview
The 2020 Basic Anaesthesia (Anaesthesia I) course program targets veterinarians with foundation knowledge in clinical anaesthesia who in the future wish to focus on anaesthesia, perioperative patient care, and pain management in small animal practice. The first 4 days of the program provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and the state of the art techniques of small animal anaesthesia and perioperative analgesia including routine perioperative vital organ function monitoring and pain management. The second part of the program focuses on loco-regional anaesthesia and analgesia as an adjunct to general anaesthesia and perioperative pain management. Wet labs and workshops will help participants familiarize themselves with common techniques of loco-regional anaesthesia and analgesia in dogs and cats and the use of ultrasound guidance to perform nerve blocks.
Topics
- Preanesthetic animal evaluation, physical status and anaesthetic risk assessment
- Physiological and pharmacological basis of anaesthesia and perioperative analgesia
- Basic principles of contemporary anaesthesia in small animals
- Methods of intraoperative anaesthetic depth, vital function and nociception monitoring
- Basic perioperative management of cardio-respiratory dysfunction and arrhythmias
- Techniques of loco-regional anaesthesia and analgesia
Workshops
Loco-regional anesthesia and analgesia wet labs
