A thoroughly updated new edition of the foundational reference on veterinary anesthesia and analgesia

Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia: The Sixth Edition of Lumb and Jones is a fully updated revision to this comprehensive, authoritative reference to all aspects of veterinary anesthesia and pain management. Encompassing both scientific principles and clinical applications, the new edition adds new knowledge, techniques, and discussion of emerging issues throughout. Fourteen new chapters significantly expand the coverage of patient monitoring modalities and nociception and pain, while presenting new information on safety culture, infection prevention and control, biomedical engineering, and point-of-care ultrasound.

Logically organized into sections, information on basic principles, pharmacology, specific body systems, and specific species is easy to access. Comparative anesthetic considerations for dogs and cats, horses, ruminants, swine, laboratory animals, free-ranging terrestrial mammals, marine mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and birds are discussed. Chapters are devoted to anesthesia and pain management of common domestic species and patient populations, including updated chapters on local and regional anesthetic and analgesic techniques. A companion website offers video clips of point-of-care ultrasound techniques and pain recognition guidelines as well as pain scales for both acute and chronic pain in multiple species.

Readers of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia: The Sixth Edition of Lumb and Jones will also find:

Significantly expanded coverage of patient monitoring, including chapters devoted to anesthetic depth and electroencephalography, electrocardiography, blood pressure, oxygenation, ventilation, anesthetic gas monitoring, and point-of-care ultrasound.
More in-depth coverage of respiratory physiology and pathophysiology, with new sections covering oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, anesthetic management considerations for bronchoscopy, intrathoracic procedures, including one-lung ventilation, and patients with respiratory disease.
Expanded coverage of pain physiology and pathophysiology, recognition and quantification of pain, and clinical pain management, including both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic modalities.
A companion website incorporating video clips, supplemental images, and pain scales to complement the more than 500 images in the text itself.

With its unparalleled multidisciplinary approach, Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia is a must-own volume for veterinary anesthesia specialists and researchers; specialists in other disciplines, including both small and large animal surgeons; practitioners; and students.
