Veterinary anaesthesia is a crucial aspect of animal healthcare, ensuring that procedures causing pain or distress are performed painlessly and effectively. It involves the use of anaesthetic drugs to induce a temporary loss of sensation or consciousness, allowing veterinarians to conduct surgeries, diagnostic imaging, and other medical interventions without causing undue stress or pain to the animal. The process includes pre-anaesthetic evaluation, choice of anaesthetic agents, monitoring during anaesthesia, and post-anaesthetic care. Different species have varied responses to anaesthetic agents, necessitating tailored protocols for each animal. Veterinary anaesthesia also considers factors such as the animal's age, health status, and the specific procedure being performed. Advances in anaesthetic techniques and monitoring equipment have significantly improved the safety and efficacy of veterinary anaesthesia, ensuring better outcomes and faster recovery for animals undergoing medical procedures. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches used in veterinary anaesthesia. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. In this book, using case studies and examples, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of veterinary anaesthsia as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
