Anaesthetic Monitoring

Course Overview

Monitoring anaesthetised patients is one of the most crucial aspects of veterinary anaesthesia. This course will be suitable for nurses and vets who wish to update or refresh their knowledge of anaesthetic monitoring. Both basic and more advanced methods of monitoring anaesthetised small animal patients will be covered. The periods of induction, intubation and recovery will also be discussed. Common abnormalities will be covered, e.g. cardiac arrhythmias, hyper and hypocapnia, together with the action that should be taken to address them.
