In response to the nationwide shortage of isoflurane in late 2018, BSAVA commissioned a webinar presented by Ian Self, European Specialist and Associate Professor in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia, to help with management of small animal patients during such a shortage. The webinar covers the use of low flow anaesthesia and monitoring techniques to spare gaseous anaesthetic agents as well as tips on partial and total intravenous anaesthesia (PIVA and TIVA) and analgesia. This webinar responds to questions posed by BSAVA members when the shortage was announced.

Monitoring the anaesthetised patient is absolutely vital to ensure their safety. This is the second of a two part lecture for vets and veterinary nurses that shows you what is normal and what is not when monitoring a patient under anaesthesia and what you can do to correct it. The lectures will help you understand how to recognise normal and abnormal waveforms for capnography, recognise normal and abnormal ECGs, improve your knowledge of pulse oximetry, and have a better understanding of how pain can effect anaesthesia. Claire Woolford is a head nurse at Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists; she achieved her VTS (Veterinary Technician Specialist) status in Anaesthesia and Analgesia in 2013, and is a member of the AVTAA Credentials Committee. Claire have provided lectures on anaesthesia and surgical nursing at local and national conferences. These recordings replace the Southern Region meeting originally scheduled for 20th May 2020. Please note that the lecture recording and accompanying notes are as provided and have not been edited. This lecture is available to BSAVA members and to non-members who registered for the original meeting. Others may purchase access, either by selecting ‘buy online access’ or by using a library pass.
