While anaesthesia for routine procedures should be stopped during the current restrictions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will remain a need for anaesthetics for emergency and urgent procedures on welfare grounds.  These brief guidelines provide practical information on administering anaesthesia while conserving oxygen supplies.  This guidance has been endorsed by the Association of Veterinary Anaesthetists (AVA) and BSAVA is pleased to make this guidance available freely to the profession.
