This book is dedicated to our animal friends and families–many of which have coexisting disease.
In human anesthesiology, textbooks concerning anesthetic techniques and protocols associated with specific disease states have been published since 1983 (Stoelting's Anesthesia and Co-Existing Disease, 1st edition – currently in its 6th edition). Canine and Feline Anesthesia and Co-Existing Disease is the first attempt to compile similar information about our veterinary species into one source and was developed to discuss the most current concepts in the fields of veterinary anesthesia and analgesia, especially with regards to patients with coexisting disease.
No longer is a successful anesthetic procedure defined as one which the patient simply recovers from unconsciousness. The goal of current anesthetic techniques should not just be to have the patient “wake up” from anesthesia but to have them recover from anesthesia with no lasting physiologic or psychologic detrimental effects from the anesthetic procedure itself. To this end, knowledge concerning veterinary anesthesia and analgesia is greatly expanding and continually developing as the breadth and depth of our profession are evolving with the emergence of species- and disease-specific research. Accordingly, changes in case management must also evolve as our cases become more challenging and our patient populations are growing older with more complex disease states. This book was developed to provide foundational information for veterinary professionals to build on (along with their own individual experiences and knowledge) in order to manage each veterinary case safely and successfully.
