Lecture 1:  Anesthesia/Analgesia for Patients with Comorbidities & the Impact of COVID Mandates

Now that most clinics are essential only, our caseloads have shifted to a higher percentage of patients with comorbidities. We are also striving more for ‘one stop shopping’, decreasing the need for the owners to make repeat visits to the clinic. Thus, we are sedating/anesthetizing more patients at the first visit, yet many of these patients are not healthy. What should we be concerned about? What are the best anesthetic/analgesic protocols? What can we do without and still do safe anesthesia?

Lecture 2:  I Can’t Breathe! Anesthesia for Patients with Airway Disease

Both upper and lower airway disease will impact anesthesia -and anesthetic choices. What anesthetic/analgesic drugs/techniques are best and what monitoring/support techniques do you need to know to get your patients safely through anesthesia and back home better – or at least no worse – than when they arrived.
