Anaesthesia and Analgesia for Veterinary Graduates is a compilation of scholarly and practical knowledge in the field of anaesthesia in animals and related topics. The book is spread over 13 chapters selected to cater the needs of veterinary students, veterinary practitioners and academicians. For the benefits of students and beginners the important consideration and criteria for selection of anaesthetic agents and techniques in different species of animals are described in detail. Mechanisms of action of important preanaesthetic and anaesthetic drugs are described in brief for better understanding of the effects and potential side effects of the popular and newer drugs. Drugs and dosage of different anaesthetic and preanaesthetic drugs and their combinations are prescribed, for different species of domestic and wild animals, for ready reference of the users. Special emphasis is devoted to the techniques of local and regional anaesthesia in ruminants. Detailed description of local anaesthetic techniques is supported by adequate number of photographs and line diagrams. The importance of pain management can not be overemphasized in veterinary practice and therefore, a chapter is devoted to perception, recognition and alleviation of pain in animals. Techniques of anaesthesia monitoring, detection of anaesthetic emergencies and their management, and recommended techniques of euthanasia are given due coverage in the book. A special chapter on wild and zoo animal anaesthesia is included in the book for the benefit of veterinarians engaged in the care and management of wild and zoo animal health. Overall, this book is a very useful publication for all veterinary students, practitioners and teachers.
