Description

Locoregional anaesthesia techniques are valuable tool for the emergency vet; providing excellent analgesia whilst avoiding many of the side effects associated with systemic administration of analgesic drugs. This webinar will review the pharmacology of local anaesthetic drugs, providing an update on drugs currently available in Australia and answering commonly asked questions such as “can I mix two different local anaesthetics together?”. Equipment options for administration of nerve blocks and for the localisation of nerves will be discussed. Different types of locoregional anaesthesia will be introduced (e.g., infiltration, peripheral nerve blocks, neuraxial blocks), and the general approach to each described. Finally, the practical application of specific locoregional techniques relevant to small animal emergency practice will be detailed.
