Samenvatting
This is a concise visual guide to the major techniques of regional anesthesia and analgesia for small animal practitioners, with complete coverage of the relevant physics, physiology, and pharmacology.
Provides straightforward advice and easy–to–implement strategies for general veterinary practitioners without specialist training who want to incorporate regional anesthesia into their practice
Features an accessible design with plenty of diagrams and photos and a convenient and robust spiral–bound format that lays flat for use during procedures
Broken into sections which explain techniques by limb or body part and by species
