The following links contain articles drawing on the expertise and knowledge of recognized leaders in their fields. These articles are intended to stimulate conversation about issues and topics of interest in anesthesia and critical care today.

There's more to Anesthesia than Life and Death
Drs. James Gaynor and Nora Mathews discuss the concept that there is more to assessing the quality of an anesthetic procedure than whether the patient survived (the historical yardstick) and that it is entirely possible to have a relatively poor anesthetic which still results in a live patient. The acceptance of this premise is key to improving the standard of veterinary anesthesia. The goals of good anesthesia are examined.

Monitoring Anesthesia
Drs. Nora Mathews and Ron Mandsager discuss how monitoring is essential to achieving the goals of good anesthesia.

David Olver, technical services manager at Abbott Animal Health and Dr. Ralph Harvey discuss the equipment required to maximize anesthetic efficiency.

When Should I Use IV Fluid Therapy?
Dr. Patrick Emmelot and the professional staff at Lincolnshire Animal Hospital challenged their use of IV fluid therapy. In this brief article they share their thought process, concerns and results after making fluid therapy a routine part of all surgical procedures.

In addition to the advertorials, we also provide educational material related to fluid therapy including IV catheter insertion instructional video and “How much fluid should I give” fluid chart.
