Frequently asked questions

Veterinary general anesthesia is a critical part of veterinary medicine. It is the administration of medications to animals to induce a loss of consciousness, sensation, and reflexes to allow surgical, diagnostic, or therapeutic procedures to be performed painlessly. During general anesthesia, animals remain unconscious and immobile, ensuring they do not experience pain or distress during procedures. This state of controlled unconsciousness is achieved through the use of injectable anesthetic agents for induction and inhaled anesthetic gases for maintenance. Animals are monitored throughout the anesthesia process to ensure their safety and well-being, with vital signs such as heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation being continuously assessed.

Veterinary regional anesthesia is a critical part of veterinary medicine, involving the numbing of a specific area of an animal’s body to prevent pain during surgical procedures or to manage chronic pain. Similar to regional anesthesia in humans, veterinary regional anesthesia targets specific nerves or nerve plexuses to block sensation in a particular region of the body. Veterinary regional anesthesia is often performed under light general anesthesia or sedation to ensure the animal remains calm and comfortable during the procedure. By providing targeted pain relief, veterinary regional anesthesia enables veterinarians to perform surgeries and other interventions with minimal discomfort for the animal, contributing to improved outcomes and overall welfare.

Veterinary regional anesthesia provides:
• Targeted pain relief.
• Reduced systemic medication requirements.
• Quicker recovery times.
• Chronic pain management for animals.

By blocking sensation in specific regions of the body, regional anesthesia minimizes discomfort during procedures while also promoting faster postoperative recovery. Additionally, the localized effects of regional anesthesia reduce the need for systemic medications, decreasing the risk of adverse effects. Moreover, regional anesthesia techniques can be utilized for managing chronic pain conditions, offering long-lasting relief for animals suffering from arthritis or nerve injuries. Overall, veterinary regional anesthesia plays a crucial role in enhancing the welfare and outcomes of animals in veterinary practice.
