Sheffield - Building Confidence in Anaesthesia with VA

Building Confidence in Anaesthesia with Veterinary Anursethesia

Understanding the fundamentals of anaesthesia monitoring will not only boost your confidence, but will also serve as a foundation for future skills and concepts.

Monitoring your patients' physiological parameters is similar to putting puzzle pieces together; it is critical to understand how they all fit together to form a bigger picture so that any abnormalities can be identified and troubleshooted. Because many diseases, anaesthetic drugs, and surgical procedures have different effects on our patients, no two anaesthetics will be the same.

This day will provide you with a thorough understanding of how to monitor your patient throughout their entire anaesthesia experience, whether you are newly qualified, returning to work, or simply looking to improve your knowledge.

Over the day, we will cover:

• The P doesn’t mean Panic: Easy ECGS
• Deep breath: Capnography made Easy
• Say ah: Airways and Breathing Systems
• Anaesthetic drugs: Patient Effects
• Squeeze! Blood Pressure Monitoring
• Wake me up before you go-go: Recovery

All delegates will receive a printed booklet of comprehensive notes and the PowerPoints for the day.

Join us on Tuesday 7th April 2026, at Tapton Hall in S10 3BU. The day starts at 9.30am and runs until 5.30pm.
