The Veterinary Nurse Advanced Anaesthesia Collection

A tailored learning series containing eleven videos with expert lecturers, combining two comprehensive nurse-focused anaesthesia learning series. This collection is for veterinary nurses looking to deepen their anaesthesia knowledge, build on core skills and explore advanced concepts as outlined below:

Advanced General Anaesthesia Series:

Being confident in providing safe and effective anaesthesia and analgesia for our patients is a vital skill for veterinary nurses. Now that anaesthesia monitoring is becoming more advanced and there is greater to access monitoring equipment in general practice, nurses have the opportunity to further develop their skills. This learning series with Claire Woolford covers how to plan and prepare for anaesthesia, how to safely carry out advanced techniques such as arterial catheter placement, IPPV with mechanical ventilation and advanced analgesia techniques. Anaesthetic considerations for patients with specific issues, such as cardiac, renal and neurological problems are also discussed.

Challenging Anaesthesia Cases Series:

Anaesthetic risk can only be fully understood once the disease pathophysiology, implications of each condition and individual patient idiosyncrasies have been considered. Using up to date studies, you will be provided with the knowledge, and confidence, to deal with the trickier anaesthetic candidates presented to first opinion practice. This learning series with Tawny Kershaw will guide you through the use and application of monitoring equipment, including blood pressure, capnography, and electrocardiography (ECG), as well as discussing the effects of common anaesthetic drugs on patients with various conditions.
