Dechra Dog and Cat Anaesthesia: The Veterinary Anaesthetist in Your Pocket

The Dechra Dog and Cat Anaesthesia app is a must-have resource for veterinarians, veterinary nurses/technicians, and vet students who want to update their anaesthesia knowledge in a straightforward and easily accessible way. Developed with specialist veterinary anaesthetists and approved by the Association of Veterinary Anaesthetists (AVA), the app provides suggested anaesthetic protocols for 24 procedures in dogs and 15 in cats. It also includes detailed anaesthetic considerations for each patient, including pre-op stabilisation, appropriate premedication options, peri-operative analgesia, and details about induction, maintenance, monitoring, and recovery.

In addition, the app contains information about 36 of the most commonly used molecules in dog and cat anaesthesia, allowing users to confidently choose and use the most appropriate molecule for every situation. The app also includes an easy-to-use dose calculator, which allows users to quickly calculate the doses required for their patients. Users can design their own protocols and save them in the favourites folder for future use or email the protocol summary to be saved in the patient’s clinical records or printed. The app reinforces Dechra as leaders in veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia and provides unprecedented technical support to veterinary professionals.
