Summary:

For veterinary care providers and students, Grimm et al., veterinarians and an anesthesiologist, outline the fundamentals of managing small animal anesthesia patients. Information is drawn from and refers to Lumb and Jones' Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia, Fourth Edition and includes new material by a group of US and Canadian veterinarians. Topics covered include patient evaluation and risk management, monitoring, acid-base balance and fluid therapy, local and regional techniques, pharmacology, physiology, and the clinical case management of dogs and cats, small mammals, and those with diseases of various body systems, as well as considerations for special procedures, emergencies, and accidents. This edition has an increased focus on pain management and new chapters on equipment and managing specific conditions. It has been updated to reflect current practices and has a new companion website with review questions, videos, and an image bank with additional figures not in the book.
