Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue focuses on the critical aspects of anesthesia management and postoperative care in veterinary surgical patients, emphasizing developments and updated practices that have emerged over the past 5–8 years and key cross‑overs from human anesthesia and analgesia. It will encompass a broad scope, addressing various anesthetic techniques, mechanical ventilation, monitoring strategies, pain control, and intensive‑care protocols tailored to different species and surgical procedures. This Special Issue seeks to enhance understanding of anesthetic practices and their impact on the outcomes of surgical interventions in animals, ultimately contributing to improved patient safety and recovery.
This Special Issue will usefully supplement the existing literature by providing updated insights into research articles and literature reviews that bridge gaps in current knowledge. By highlighting innovative practices and recent advancements in anesthesiology and critical care, this Special Issue will serve as a valuable, up‑to‑date resource for veterinary professionals seeking to refine their skills and enhance patient care.
