A tailored learning series containing thirteen videos with expert lecturers, combining two comprehensive nurse-focused anaesthesia learning series. This collection is designed to build a strong foundational knowledge and confidence in key anaesthesia principles, as outlined below:

Anaesthesia Refresher Series:

Understanding the fundamentals of anaesthesia monitoring will not only boost your confidence but will also lay the groundwork for future skills and concepts to be built on. Monitoring your patients’ physiological parameters is similar to assembling puzzle pieces; it is critical to understand how they all fit together to form a larger picture so that any abnormalities can be identified and troubleshooted. Because many diseases, anaesthetic drugs, and surgical procedures affect our patients differently, no two anaesthetics will be the same. This learning series with Courtney Scales provides you with a thorough understanding of how to monitor your patient throughout their entire anaesthesia experience, whether you are newly qualified, returning to work, or simply looking to improve your knowledge.

The Four Phases of Veterinary Anaesthesia Series:

The anaesthesia period has four different phases: pre anaesthesia, induction, maintenance, and recovery, with the veterinary nurse monitoring the patient throughout. Each monitoring parameter can be thought of as a piece of a puzzle. This learning series with Niamh Clancy will help you to understand the information each one is giving you so you can fit all the information together to obtain the bigger picture. Not only is every patient different, but different drugs also produce different effects, and these can also vary depending on numerous other contributing factors – so no two cases will ever be the same.
