Product Description
Handbook of Veterinary Anesthesia, 4th Edition is a convenient, complete, and practical resource for administering safe and effective anesthesia to small and large animals, including exotic pets. Long valued by students and practitioners alike, this handbook features all the practical and applied aspects of veterinary anesthesia, including patient evaluation, preanesthetic medications, local anesthesia and anesthetic techniques, and more. The book describes drugs used perioperatively and their clinical applications in detail and pays special attention to complementary and integrative approaches to pain management.
- Key points and special considerations are now called out in boxes to highlight the most important and critical information for immediate access.
- Comprehensive yet concise quick reference offers on-the-go, indispensable advice for anesthetic situations.
- Dogs and cats each have their own chapter, and the special needs and considerations of each species are expanded for more comprehensive coverage.
- Old and outdated drugs have been eliminated, so the focus is not on the history of veterinary anesthesia but on important, current concepts and techniques.
- Completely updated drug information and new pain management techniques.
- A new chapter discusses the unique anesthetic considerations in cats and their clinical applications.
- The latest information on local anesthesia drugs and techniques.
- Expanded coverage of post-anesthetic care, monitoring, and analgesic considerations.
- Covers anesthetic protocols for common procedures in each species.
- Includes new coverage of the use of constant rate infusion perioperatively.
- Expanded coverage of euthanasia includes the most current AVMA guidelines for euthanasia techniques.

Useful clinic reference July 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is a excellent resource for our Practice.(mixed Practice). It has really good, easy to find information. All the species that we deal with are covered and all types of anaesthesia from local and regional right through to general anaesthesia. This book is useful for new clinicians and those with lots of experience. There are lots of different options for anaesthesia so you aren't limited to what you've always done. I think this is a very handy guide to have on your Practice shelves.
An Excellent Book For Students May 20, 2000
33 out of 33 found this review helpful
I am a second year veterinary student. My roommate bought the standard anestesia text-Lumb and Jones and I bought Muir. We both ended up using Muir because it is much more comprehensive at this level then Lumb and Jones (which is an excellent reference but a bit overwhelming for an introductory anesthesia course). In my experience Muir had all the necessary information laid out in an easy to read format, as well as lots of charts which helped to pull everything together.
