Endotracheal tubes are essential for maintaining the airway during anesthesia, but differences in design, material, and fit can impact safety and outcomes across species. We’ll review current evidence on tube selection, cuff management, and complications, and discuss practical tips to improve airway care in veterinary patients.

Co-inductions use a combination of drugs for anaesthetic induction, providing benefits such as reduced drug doses, smoother inductions, improved patient stability, and fewer adverse effects. However, what is the evidence regarding the drugs and their dosages?

It's not just about MAP! Understand practical approaches to evaluating the venous system in addition to your patients clinical signs, and how to use diagnostic tools to improve patient care and outcomes.

In veterinary medicine, we use a lot of human-standard single-use equipment; therefore, what is the literature on how to clean single-use equipment or infection control between patients?

Medetomidine can be administered as a premedication, a CRI, or in conjunction with nerve blocks such as epidurals. From sedation to balanced anaesthesia, dosing tricks, side effects, and when to use atipamezole. A practical overview of the pros, cons, and real-world applications of this useful α₂-agonist.

Given that gastro-oesophageal reflux is common in our anaesthetised patients, what is the literature on gastroprotectant drugs? Should we give them preemptively? Once the event has occured? Let’s dive in!

Since we're so on trend with being #locoforlocal, let's look at what the literature says about their impact, efficacy, and benefits for our patients.

Should pre-anaesthesia blood testing be mandatory? What evidence do we have around how beneficial they are, or are we able to potentially predict abdnormalities based on the clinical presentation of the patient and therefore make appropiate anaesthesia plan changes?

Should crystalloid fluid boluses be the first line of defence in managing hypotension in anaesthetised patients? What if I told you...probably not? What and when are the benefits? Let us take a look at the literature on using fluid therapy in our anaesthetised patients!
