Good value for money

This could be excellent handbook for quick refference with most approved anesthesia techniques described. Exceptionally good section on inhalation anaesthesia and required apparatus. Unfortunatelly the book lacks listing of all possible protocols and anaesthetic combinations with individual doses.

VAA review

Helpful book--I have just begun my class in this area, so I have not really gotten into it yet but I can tell when I look ahead that there is much useful info in it.

Great book!

I had an opportunity to look through this book when a fellow vet tech student borrowed it to use for our Surgery class. It has ALOT of helpful information and was particularly beneficial for me in regards to monitoring during surgery and how to handle surgical emergencies (hypoxemia, hypovolemia, etc.). I would definitely recommend getting this book!
