Veterinary Anesthesia, 11th Edition
An acknowledged classic in its field, Veterinary Anesthesia 11th edition has undergone a thorough revision to bring you the latest information in a more accessible format than ever before. The book meets the needs of several groups. For students, it provides basic concepts and 'how to' advice on anesthetizing animals. For veterinarians in practice or those working with laboratory animals it's an excellent reference that draws on both the considerable experience of the authors and on published scientific data. Those wishing to specialize in veterinary anesthesia will find it a stimulating introduction to the subject. This revision has been expanded to incorporate evidence-based information, additional chapters on advances in analgesia, anesthesia of small mammals, fish and wildlife, and updated information on cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR).
The wide range of species covered and the clear descriptions of basic principles, techniques and equipment, coupled with an extensive literature review, make Veterinary Anesthesia 11th edition your essential companion whether in the classroom or in the clinic.
"The different anesthetic methods are described in detail and, in the second part of the book, species specificities are also taken into account. No doubt this will be a reference throughout your professional career, whatever path you follow." Reviewed by: Tomorrow's Vets Date: July 2014
