particularly regarding physiology. I would highly recommend it."

want to learn a more sophisticated degree of anesthetic management
or are studying for the specialty examination. It contains a great
deal of practical, valuable information in a clear and concise
format. It is well illustrated with many good-quality photographs,
diagrams, and tables. It will be an excellent addition to the
library of any veterinary technician and will be useful for
students in veterinary technician programs." (JAVMA,

"This book is an excellent tool for technicians wishing to
improve their knowledge about veterinary anesthesia and build new
skills. Published in conjunction with the Academy of Veterinary
Technician Anesthetists, it is a must for those planning to sit for
the Veterinary Technician Specialist in Anesthesia examination.
With its practical, hands-on focus and a generous sprinkling of
hints and tips, it is a book designed for everyday use in
situations both common and rare." (Veterinary Technician,
August 2010)

"Provides foundational information that can be used to build
knowledge about anesthesia, while also providing the reader
practical applications and tips. A unique benefit to the text is
the supplementary website information provided by the publisher.
Charts, forms, and materials for use in the practice setting will
be very useful for veterinary technicians performing anesthesia.
Fully illustrated in color, this book will serve as a valuable
addition to one's library." (VTARC Companion, April
