Anesthesia and sedation guidelines with Dr Lydia Love
About this episode
Dr Lydia Love discusses the 2025 Small Animal Anesthesia and Sedation Monitoring Guidelines and how to improve care for ICU and ER patients.
“Anesthesia safety is less about picking the ‘correct’ drug combination, and more about how you take care of and stabilise the patient…” Join myself and Dr Lydia Love as we discuss the 2025 Small Animal Anesthesia and Sedation Monitoring Guidelines, specifically thinking how we can improve the care of our ICU and ER patients. We cover all sorts: hypothermia, sedation vs anesthesia, recovery, cases such as urethral obstruction and septic peritonitis, locoregional anaesthesia and plenty more!
