Doody Review Services Reviewer:William M Karlin, BS, DVM(University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine)Description:This book covers a wide range of topics in equine anesthesia and goes into detail on specifics such as anesthesia protocols for certain types of surgery. This is a welcome update to the first edition of 1991.Purpose:The purpose is to provide a reference for equine anesthesia that can be understood by veterinarians and trained technicians.Audience:It is written for specialty veterinarians who deal with anesthesia, as well as for support staff. It could easily be used by students and residents as well.Features:This overview of equine anesthesia goes from start to finish including complications and other problems. It describes new procedures and methods in a very understandable way. The quick reference boxes are nice for a quick glance. The pictures would be better in color, and some of the graphs and charts are small and hard to read.Assessment:This well-written book gathers a lot of important information in one place. Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia, 3rd edition, McKelvey and Hollingshead (Elsevier, 2003) goes into more depth in general, but this book is specific to the horse, which is very nice.
