Master the veterinary technician's role as a veterinary
anesthetist! Covering the principles of animal anesthesia and pain
management, Anesthesia and Analgesia for Veterinary Technicians and
Nurses, 6th Edition is the definitive guide to the latest drugs,
techniques and protocols, and anesthetic equipment. Clear
guidelines to anesthesia administration include pre-anesthetic
preparation of the patient, induction procedures, the monitoring of
patients' vital signs during the anesthetic period, and
postoperative care. Written by expert educators John A. Thomas and
Philip Lerche, this trusted text prepares you for success in the
classroom and on the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE).
Comprehensive coverage of dogs, cats, horses, cattle, camelids, and
swine makes this an excellent resource for veterinary students and

anesthetic techniques for equine, ruminant, camelid, and swine
patients. Reference tables and boxes provide quick access to fluid
administration rates, properties of anesthetic drugs, oxygen flow
rates, anesthetic protocols, normal and abnormal monitoring
parameters, and more. Learning features include chapter outlines,
learning objectives, key terms, Technician Notes, key points,
review questions, and suggested readings. Glossary at the end of
the text makes it easy to look up definitions of terms. Evolve
