Anaesthetic Monitoring CE Course |
|
* READ HERE FOR FULL DETAILS OF VAA CHAPTER LED MONITORING COURSE - STARTING FEB '23* Physiological monitoring during general anaesthesia is of the utmost importance to ensure adequate oxygen delivery to vital tissues and therefore avoid harm. Indeed, anaesthetic monitoring is associated with reduced peri-anaesthetic risk in small animals (1,2). With various international veterinary bodies (AAHA, AVCAA) releasing anaesthetic monitoring guidelines, it is imperative that veterinarians and veterinary nurses have a strong understanding of this topic. This course, run by the Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia Chapter of the ANZCVS, provides high quality, clinically relevant, and practical training in all aspects of anaesthetic monitoring for dogs and cats.

Science Week 2017 |
|
We are busy organising a fantastic and packed full program of Veterinary Anaesthesia & Analgesia lectures and debate for the Friday and Saturday of the conference. This year we will be teaming up with the Radiology Chapter for half a day to discuss topics relevant to both of our sections. Perfect for us anaesthetists to brush up on topics such as radiology interpretation skills, and how best to manage animals undergoing Imaging procedures. The remainder of our program will focus on equine anaesthesia and analgesia. Stay tuned for a draft copy of our program, coming soon. Hope to see you all in the Gold Coast in July! |
