The provision of safe anaesthesia and optimal analgesia is an ethical obligation for all practitioners in the veterinary field. This new manual provides in-depth and up-to-date coverage of all aspect of canine and feline anaesthesia and analgesia.

The editors explain the ethos behind the new manual: “Our aim is for this manual to be used as a reference and guide, to provide extra knowledge behind the rationales for drug choices and techniques, and to support a logical approach to the development of anaesthetic protocols.”

The BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Anaesthesia and Analgesia, 3rd edition will be launched at BSAVA Congress, held in Birmingham at the ICC and Barclaycard Arena between the 7th and 10th April 2016.

“Small Animal Regional Anesthesia and Analgesia” was written with a wide audience in mind. For many years, local and regional anesthesia in animals was considered to be an “art”, with techniques that were developed decades ago still being used without any particular attention being made to advancing the “science”. Over the last ten years, rapid advances in human regional anesthesia have started to carry over into veterinary medicine. Recently, many studies have been conducted in small animals to document, describe, and improve local and regional anesthetic blocks in our patients.

The primary goal of this text was to put a large body of information in one place for the first time. Interest in regional anesthesia in animals is not limited to one particular geographic area; as a result, we have invited an international authorship to share their experience and expertise with us. This text will hopefully have something for everyone – it can be used as a text with complete reference lists and extensive discussion of different topics, or as a quick source of information with procedural checklists, pictures and diagrams to assist with performance of the various blocks. Understandably, the information contained in this book reflects the opinions of the different authors. Our hope is to standardize the various procedures and stimulate continued interest in this subspecialty of anesthesia and pain management.

Although our understanding of regional anesthesia in small animals still has a long way to go, we are on the cusp of some exciting new developments that will undoubtedly contribute to better outcomes and improved patient care.
