Essentials of Small Animal Anesthesia and Analgesia [PDF ebook] 

Essentials of Small Animal Anesthesia and Analgesia, Second
Edition presents the fundamentals of managing small animal
anesthesia patients in a clinically relevant, accessible manual.
The bulk of the book is distilled from Lumb and Jones’
Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia to provide authoritative
information in a quick-reference format, with references to Lumb
and Jones’ throughout for easy access to further detail.
Logically reorganized with an easy-to-use structure and an
increased focus on pain management, this new edition features new
chapters on equipment and managing specific conditions.

The Second Edition has been updated to reflect current practices
in anesthesia and analgesia, and a new companion website offers
review questions and answers, video clips, and an image bank with
additional figures not found in the printed book. Essentials of
Small Animal Anesthesia and Analgesia, Second Edition provides
veterinary care providers and students with key information on
anesthetic and analgesic pharmacology, physiology, patient
assessment, and clinical case management.
