Essentials of Small Animal Anesthesia and Analgesia

by Kurt A. Grimm (Editor), William J. Tranquilli (Editor), Leigh A. Lamont (Editor)

Overview

Essentials of Small Animal Anesthesia and Analgesia, Second Edition presents the fundamentals of managing small animal anesthesia patients in a clinically relevant, accessible manual. The bulk of the book is distilled from Lumb and Jones' Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia to provide authoritative information in a quick-reference format, with references to Lumb and Jones' throughout for easy access to further detail. Logically reorganized with an easy-to-use structure and an increased focus on pain management, this new edition features new chapters on equipment and managing specific conditions.

The Second Edition has been updated to reflect current practices in anesthesia and analgesia, and a new companion website offers review questions and answers, video clips, and an image bank with additional figures not found in the printed book. Essentials of Small Animal Anesthesia and Analgesia, Second Edition provides veterinary care providers and students with key information on anesthetic and analgesic pharmacology, physiology, patient assessment, and clinical case management.

From the Publisher

Reviewer: Angela N. Otto, AAS, CVT (University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital)
Description: This comprehensive overview of small animal anesthesia and analgesia covers anesthetic equipment, monitoring, regional and general anesthesia, local blocks, pain management, anesthesia related pharmacology, and induction, maintenance, and recovery from anesthesia as well as anesthetic complications commonly associated with specific disease processes.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a clinically focused review of small animal anesthesia and analgesia. This book is an invaluable guide for learning and referencing anesthesia related questions and review.
Audience: The book is targeted at veterinary care providers and students, but it is also a valuable resource for the veterinary support staff. All chapters are written or cowritten by a diplomate of the College of Veterinary Anesthesiologists and have been edited by diplomates with at least nine years of service.
Features: This book offers a few photographs and illustrations that are very helpful, especially with local blocks and anesthetic circuits. A supplemental website contains videos of some blocks performed on live animals and a helpful narrative and overview of landmarks, drug selection, and equipment needed, but they cover only one basic technique for each block. Another feature of the website is the question-and-answer review for each chapter, which is helpful for testing comprehension of key points. The chapters covering specific disease processes and their relevance to anesthesia are a great reference and review of possible complications and proper maintenance of anesthesia. The index is a little hard to use as the alphabetical order of terms often gets lost because the subhead entries are in the same font and character as the main entries.
Assessment: Overall, this is a helpful review and quick reference for all veterinary professionals and students. Unlike other books covering anesthesia, this one provides a basic and quick reference guide that is an excellent resource for students and veterinary professionals alike.
