A fully updated new edition of the only text solely focused on anesthesia of dogs and cats with co-existing disease

The revised Second Edition of Canine and Feline Anesthesia and Co-Existing Disease expands and updates the only book solely dedicated to practical anesthetic techniques for dogs and cats with co-existing disease. The book now includes additional images in full color, new discussions of cutting-edge drugs and techniques, and updated chapters and information throughout.

This text provides in-depth and clinically-useful information that can easily be incorporated into the progressive companion animal practice. It offers more than 200 new images and 4 new chapters focusing on urogenital concerns, genetic diseases, nociceptive disorders, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-resuscitation care. It is intuitively organized by body system to allow for quick and easy reference.

Key features:

• Presents concise, yet comprehensive anesthetic considerations and management plans for dogs and cats with co-existing disease and patients with altered physiology
• Explores commonly-encountered disease processes and their anesthetic management, including cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, neurologic, endocrine, and hepatic diseases, among others
• Highlights important physiologic alterations encountered in neonatal, pregnant, and geriatric patients and their implications for anesthetic management
• Includes access to a companion website with relevant clinical videos at www.wiley.com/go/johnson/canine

Canine and Feline Anesthesia and Co-Existing Disease is a must-have reference for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and veterinary students seeking a one-stop resource for anesthetic techniques in veterinary patients with co-existing disease and/or altered physiology.

Fundamental Principles of Veterinary Anesthesia

Comprehensive textbook integrating physiology and anesthesia of multiple species of animals in a unique practical setting

Fundamental Principles of Veterinary Anesthesia is designed specifically for veterinary students, animal health technicians and veterinarians in general practice. The first edition of Fundamental Principles of Veterinary Anesthesia covers the key principles of veterinary anesthesia, encompassing a wide range of species, including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, and pigs, and establishing links between physiology, pharmacology, and clinical practice in healthy and ill patients.

This text serves as a practical guide for students to prepare themselves for clinical work in a private practice setting, and as a rich, practical resource for those in general practice.

This text is ideally used as a complete curriculum aligned resource, and the companion website is designed to decrease the burden of lecturers who need to compile PowerPoint presentations and review questions.

Topics covered in Fundamental Principles of Veterinary Anesthesia include:

• Practical approaches to the peri-anesthetic period, from patient assessment, through to preparing for, and successfully completing, an anesthetic event
• Anesthetic drugs available in an academic or private practice, with a focus on commonly used drugs
• Components of the anesthetic machine, gas flow through the machine, how vaporizers work and their functionalities
• Principles and techniques of patient monitoring, with a focus on commonly available devices and their applications
