Anesthesia-Pain Medicine

Anesthesia and pain management for small animals is a crucial aspect of veterinary medicine, ensuring comfort and safety during procedures. Some key points are important:
– Preoperative Care
: Blood test and urine analysis help assess an animal’s health before anesthesia
 Anesthetic Agents: Options include intravenous and inhalant anesthetics, with modern drugs like Zenalpha® (medetomidine and vatinoxan) used for sedation
Monitoring Techniques: Electroencephalography (EEG) and Parasympathetic Tone Analysis (PTA) help optimize anesthesia depth and pain control
Pain Management: Includes locoregional blocks, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and photobiomodulation therapy
Specialized Procedures: Anesthesia for endoscopic procedures and ECG monitoring are essential for complex cases.
