Module 1 – Sedation Protocols for Standing Surgical Restraint
CONTENT DESCRIPTION
Lecture 1 – Basic Concepts & Techniques
Vital to the success of any standing surgical restraint is an understanding of the pharmacology of the agents at our disposal, particularly as relatively few are generally available. This webinar will review some basic pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics principles before discussing individual agents and how they may be used to maximum effect.
Lecture 2 – Personal Experiences & Literature Review of Protocols
A literature search will return many publications describing intravenous infusion protocols for prolonged sedation in horses. Differing combinations of drugs, rates of administration, physiological consequences and efficacy, both in terms of providing sedation and analgesia are often reported. This literature base will be discussed in light of the presenters’ own experiences.
