CONTENT DESCRIPTION
An international panel of specialists and experienced clinicians in the field of veterinary anaesthesia, (incl. zoo species) will share practical tips and tricks for safe and reliable sedation of challenging equids.
The exchange will continue with a broad discussion of field anaesthesia in equids, addressing topics such as optimal drug combinations and dosages, monitoring of field anaesthesia and legal aspects (e.g. who should be allowed to perform general anaesthesia in the field; what minimal monitoring equipment is required etc.) amongst many others. By the end of this exchange the audience should be comfortable choosing the safest available drug combinations, be familiar with the procedure of performing a general anaesthetic and know how to use the chosen drugs safely.
Last but not least, sedation and/or anaesthesia of feral equids, albeit a rare but challenging scenario for the average equine practitioner, will also be discussed.
As part of this interactive discussion vets and nurses/technicians will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and share their own experience with the group.

More InfoDr. Sathya Chinnadurai is a native of St. Louis and completed his DVM, internship and a Master’s in Wildlife Biology at the University of Missouri. He then moved to North Carolina State University for residencies in zoological medicine and anesthesia, leading to board certification in the American Colleges of Zoological Medicine, Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia, and, recently, Animal Welfare. His interests include clinical teaching, anesthesia and analgesia of all species.
Dr. Chinnadurai served as a Clinical Instructor in Zoological Medicine at the University of California at Davis and a Staff Veterinarian at the Sacramento Zoo and senior staff veterinarian at the Chicago Zoological Society's Brookfield Zoo. He is currently the Director of Animal Health at the Saint Louis Zoo which serves to finance his expensive passions for amateur woodworking and raising two amazing daughters

More InfoAlex graduated from the Universidad Nacional of Costa Rica in 1985 and went on to perform an Anesthesia Internship at the Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, Canada, followed by an Anesthesia Residency with a DVSc at the same institution from 1987 to 1990. He became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia in 1990. Following his residency, he returned to Costa Rica to work at the University for 1-year and then established his own private mixed practice Hospital for 9 years, before returning to North America, where he worked as a faculty member at the University of Florida for 5 years, to later returned to the Ontario Veterinary College where he has been since 2005 and is currently Professor of Anesthesia. His areas of research include the effects of intravenous anesthetic drugs and of local regional techniques on the potency of inhalant anesthetics, as well as their cardiorespiratory effects in small and large animals, and their effects on anesthetic recovery in horses. Alex has published numerous research, review, and clinical articles in peer-reviewed veterinary journals on these topics and is co-editor of the two editions of the Manual of Equine Anesthesia and Analgesia. Alex lectures regularly at national and international courses/conferences on anesthesia of all species.
