Great advancements have been made over the past decade in regards to equine sedation, anesthesia and analgesia. This seminar, in part, provides specialists and veterinarians the knowledge base to prioritize and design acute and chronic pain management protocols for the equine patient. It also provides experienced insight for success when performing equine standing sedation procedures and general anesthetic recovery. Recent studies have discussed patient- and procedure-specific risk factors that increase the likelihood for anesthetic-related morbidity and mortality in dogs and cats.
Veterinarians will learn to preemptively identify these risk factors to reduce the incidence of perioperative complications, e.g., surgery site infections, hypoxia, and hypotension. Appropriate development of anesthetic protocols, including when to incorporate alfaxalone versus propofol, for the brachycephalic and infectious disease patient is emphasized. Lastly, practitioners are given the tools needed to adequately assess and identify patients' with acute postoperative pain.
