In this course, the student learns the stages of anesthesia and how to induce and monitor anesthesia under direct supervision of a veterinarian. Surgical nursing skills associated with aseptic technique and proper protocols in the surgery suite are covered as well as pre- and post-op monitoring, record keeping, and client education skills. The student performs blood work, urinalysis, and fecal examination on animals that are scheduled for anesthesia as medically indicated. Some preparatory work and patient monitoring is required outside of scheduled lab time.
