Seminar Topics:
Lecture 1 & 2:
Anesthesia drugs from A (acepromazine) to Z (Zoletil)
What is the truth and what is myth regarding the anesthesia/analgesia drugs that we commonly use in practice? We will briefly review the good and bad effects – and the proper dosages – of anesthetic/analgesic drugs so that they are used appropriately and safely. (PS – Zoletil is Telazol in UK/Europe).
Lecture 3:
Risky Business: Making Anesthesia Safer
Anesthesia can be very dangerous for some patients, but we can improve anesthetic safety by knowing which patients are at greater risk – and what human factors put patients at risk.
Lecture 4:
The Importance of Pain Management and the Nurse’s Role
Pain management is critical to anesthetic safety, and to patient health and quality of life. We will discuss pain, pain management and how the nurse/technician can play a very large role. YOU CAN DO IT!
Lecture 5:
Specific Analgesia Techniques and Pain Assessment for Veterinary Nurses/Technicians
We will discuss easy to implement pain assessment tools and pain management techniques that the nurses/technicians can/should be doing. Videos included!
