CONTENT DESCRIPTION

Sick foals are undoubtedly the most fragile patients that equine veterinarians anaesthetise.  Inherent differences between the anaesthesia of adult horses and of foals, particularly sick foals, compound this fragility. 

The actions of anaesthetic drugs affect and are greatly affected by the cardiorespiratory, hepatic, and renal systems which mature at varying rates during the first 3 to 6 months of the foal’s life.  This dynamic heightens the need for: optimization of the patient’s status prior to inducing anaesthesia; consistent and constant evaluation of the response to administered drugs; and the use of monitors in addition to those routinely used for adults.

This panel discussion will focus on the anaesthesia of foals in abdominal crises.  These are frequently fluid situations that are encountered on an emergency basis.  Despite the urgency, planning and preparation are key...

An international panel of world-renowned equine anaesthetists will discuss the following topics amongst many others:  Rapid stabilization of the patient prior to anaesthesia; appropriate timing and staging of procedures; drug selection; and important monitoring techniques for anesthetist. This exchange will be highly interactive with attendees able to contribute and ask questions.

Dr. John Hubbell is the Chief of Anesthesiology at the Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, and holds the title Professor Emeritus of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at The College of Veterinary Medicine of The Ohio State University. Dr. Hubbell has been a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia since 1982.

Dr. Hubbell was raised in Lima, Ohio, in a pet and horse owning family. After receiving his DVM from Ohio State in 1977, he served an equine surgery internship at the University of California at Davis then returned to Ohio State as a resident in veterinary anesthesiology. Dr. Hubbell was a faculty member at Ohio State from 1982 until 2015 when he joined Rood and Riddle.

Dr. Hubbell is author of numerous articles on veterinary anesthesia and coauthor of two textbooks: Handbook of Veterinary Anesthesia and Equine Anesthesia Monitoring and Emergency Therapy. Dr. Hubbell is an active member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners and speaks frequently at the annual meeting on topics related to anesthesia.

Dr. Brosnan earned his DVM from the University of California at Davis followed by an internship at Tufts University, PhD in physiology from UC Davis, anesthesia and critical patient care residency at UC Davis, and finally a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of California at San Francisco.  Dr. Brosnan has been board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia (ACVAA) since 2004 and is currently Professor of Anesthesiology at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.  Dr. Brosnan’s clinical practice is comprised of anesthesia and pain management in both large (horses and livestock) and small animals.  His research focuses primarily on mechanisms of anesthetic action. 

After graduating as veterinarian in 2002, Stijn Schauvliege completed a 1 year rotating equine internship and an ECVAA residency at Ghent University. During his residency, he performed research on cardiovascular depression in horses. He became Diplomate of the ECVAA in 2009 and defended his PhD in 2010. Since 2010, he has been the head of the Anaesthesia Service at the Dept. of Surgery and Anaesthesia of Domestic Animals, Ghent University. He has served on the Credentials and Education Committee of the ECVAA during 2 years, is the current Vice President of the ECVAA and has been one of the ECVAA representatives in EBVS during several years.

Dr. Clark-Price received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree with high honors from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine after completing his clinical rotations at Cornell University in 2000.

He remained at Cornell and completed a Theriogenology internship and then went to Kansas State University where he completed an Equine Internal Medicine residency and a master’s degree in clinical sciences in 2003. He returned to Cornell University and completed an Anesthesiology residency in 2005.

Dr. Clark-Price achieved Diplomate status in the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine in 2005 and Diplomate status in the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia in 2008.

Dr. Clark-Price spent a year in a private practice equine referral hospital and then accepted a faculty position at the University of Illinois where he was head of the Anesthesia Service.

Dr. Clark-Price joined Auburn University in 2017 where he is currently an associate professor of Anesthesia in the Department of Clinical Sciences.

His research interests include thermoregulation during anesthesia, aspects of recovery of horses from anesthesia and anesthesia of various exotic animals including amphibians and exotic felids.
