Advancing anaesthesia: Practical solutions for today’s veterinary teams
Safe, consistent anaesthesia depends on clear protocols and effective monitoring – not just individual skill. This session shows veterinary teams how to strengthen both using practical, evidence-based approaches for everyday practice.
Learn how well-designed protocols reduce variability, support decision-making, and improve patient stability from premedication to recovery, while still allowing for patient-specific adjustments. The session also focuses on monitoring: what to measure, how to interpret it, and how to respond in real time.
Common challenges like hypotension, bradycardia, and ventilation changes will be explored, alongside practical strategies such as setting intervention thresholds, improving equipment use, and enhancing team communication.
Ideal for veterinary surgeons and RVNs, this session offers clear, actionable steps to build reliable anaesthesia protocols and make monitoring more effective across the team.
- - Understand how to design and apply consistent anaesthetic protocols that improve patient safety and reduce variability
- - Interpret key monitoring parameters and respond appropriately to common intraoperative complications
- - Implement practical strategies to enhance team communication, monitoring practices, and clinical decision-making
