Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Animal anesthesia and analgesia management are important topics in the field of veterinary medicine and animal research, involving preoperative sedation, anesthesia maintenance, postoperative analgesia, and related physiological monitoring. This Special Issue aims to collate the latest research and explore anesthetic techniques, analgesic protocols, new drug applications, and their impact on animal physiology and behaviour in different animal species. At the same time, we welcome research on anesthesia safety, complication prevention, alternative therapies (such as local anesthesia, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, multimodal analgesia), etc., to promote the scientific development of animal anesthesia and analgesia management. This Special Issue will provide veterinarians, researchers, and related practitioners with cutting-edge knowledge and practical guidance to improve animal welfare and clinical efficacy.
Dr. David Alves Ferreira Évora
