BREATHE EASY: UNDERSTANDING AND HANDLING RESPIRATORY COMPLICATIONS UNDER ANESTHESIA

摘要

This lecture serves as a refresher on 1) respiratory physiology for non-domestic species 2) monitoring of respiratory function under anesthesia, and 3) common respiratory anesthetic complications with an emphasis on pathophysiology and treatment. We discuss a systematic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of common peri-anesthetic respiratory derangements, such as hypoxemia and hypoventilation.
