Complications in Equine Anaesthesia: Prevention, Recognition and Management

Despite the high anesthetic risk compared to other monogastric species, equine anesthesia is performed mainly by new graduates with minimal formal training. A few equine hospitals consult board certified veterinary anesthesiologists regularly, and only a handful may have an anesthesiologist on staff. Occasions for continuous education, particularly in large animals, are limited. This practical, easy to access handbook covers recognizing, preventing and managing common equine anaesthetic complications. This book is an everyday reference for the equine practitioner facing perianesthetic complications. It is of interest to students, new graduates and seasoned equine veterinarians practicing general anesthesia in equids. It is a helpful reference for veterinary nurses and technicians helping with anesthetic procedures.
