Abstract
The most fundamental consideration in the practice of veterinary medicine and surgery is the health and welfare of the animals that are entrusted to our care. The prevention of pain and suffering is paramount. This chapter looks at the aims of anaesthesia and analgesia, the choice of anaesthetic technique, legislation, health and safety and environmental considerations.
