Anesthesia

The Importance of Anesthesia
Anesthesia is the process of blocking the perception of pain and other sensations. It allows patients to undergo surgery and other procedures without the distress and pain they would otherwise experience. The choice of anesthetic technique is a complex one, and the best approach involves individual assessment of the patient and the procedure in order to plan the anesthetic event.
Abbott Animal Health offers a variety of anesthetic products to support the veterinary professional in achieving balanced anesthesia, optimizing the anesthetic experience, and maximizing the quality of recovery.
