About The Webinar

The broad category of patients defined as the ‘neurological’ can include the otherwise healthy dog with a history of seizures to the multi-trauma patient with severe head trauma and raised intracranial pressure. Each condition will have different anaesthetic considerations and will have to be treated differently. Should acepromazine be avoided in the patient with a history of seizures? Is sevoflurane better than isoflurane in the patient with raised intracranial pressure? Or would propofol be the drug of choice?
In most patients with neurological disease, it is not only the choice of drugs which is important but mainly the anaesthetic management of the patient. Through some case scenarios representing common presentations of the neurological patient, this webinar will highlight the anaesthetic considerations which are important to anaesthetise these patients successfully and safely.
