About Course

Course Objectives

Pain management will cover effective communication to clients in ensuring delivery of appropriate analgesia for patients, the common causes, physiologic and behavioural aspects and effects of pain, basic principles of effective analgesic treatments and techniques, and adjunctive analgesic protocols in small animals. Anaesthesia will cover patient preparation (e.g. fasting, history and clinical examination), an introduction to common anaesthetic agents (e.g. injectables, inhalants) available in practice, principles of endotracheal tube intubation which involve tube selection, tube preparation, intubation procedure, checking for proper placement, cuff inflation, and complications. It will also cover anaesthetic protocol selection in different disease presentations and animal species, and the proper execution of anaesthesia (i.e. equipment preparation, preanaesthetic drugs, anaesthetic induction, maintenance of anaesthesia, patient positioning, comfort and safety and anaesthetic recovery). Students will learn monitoring of anaesthesia (i.e. stages and planes of anaesthesia, principles of monitoring, vital signs, indicators of circulation, oxygenation, ventilation, monitoring of reflexes and other indicators of anaesthetic depth), function and setup of anaesthetic (e.g. Anaesthetic machine, endotracheal tubes, laryngoscopes, breathing circuits, masks etc.) and monitoring equipment (e.g. capnography, ECG, blood pressure and SPO2), interpretation of data, and intervention in anaesthetic complications.
