Jody Nugent-Deal, RVT, VTS (Anesthesia), VTS (Exotic Companion Animal) presented this RACE-approved webinar recording. This distance-learning event first reviews avian anatomy and physiology, emphasizing clinically relevant ways that birds differ from mammals. This course also goes over anesthesia monitoring equipment and what actually works on birds, as well as machine and basic equipment set-up. She concludes with a discussion of common anesthetic protocols used in avian patients. View the recording, then complete (and pass) the brief post-test to earn 1 hour of continuing education credit.
Upon completion of this RACE-approved learning aid, the participant will have a basic clinical understanding of anesthetic monitoring of exotic animal patients: birds, exotic companion mammals, and reptiles.
Heart rate and oxygenation should ideally be monitored during every anesthetic event. Patient size can limit the accuracy of pulse oximetry readings in exotic companion mammals and this technique has not been validated in birds or reptiles, however trends during the course of anesthesia can still provide useful clues to patient clinical status.
