Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surgical procedures in a variety of animal species require different suitable anaesthesia and analgesia protocols. This includes established, well-known protocols as well as advanced techniques and new drug combinations. In most circumstances, there will be more than one suitable protocol, depending, for instance, on the patient, skill level and availability. Reporting and comparison of characteristics and side effects of different anaesthesia protocols will enable the anaesthetist to choose a protocol based on the respective circumstances. This also includes considerations to perioperative pain management for sufficient analgesia, which could be achieved by multimodal analgesia protocols and locoregional analgesia techniques.
We invite the submission of original research papers, case reports and review papers relating to the management of anaesthesia or sedation in veterinary patients and experimental research animals undergoing surgery. In addition, topics may include perioperative pain management of animals to enable adequate analgesia during surgery.
