Sedation in focus: Real cases, new thinking, better outcomes (LVS25)

This interactive, case-based session explores how to decide between sedation and general anaesthesia, and what recent advances mean for everyday canine practice. Through real cases, you’ll learn when sedation is the good choice, how to manage short-duration procedures, and how new protocols can improve safety, predictability, and recovery.

• Assess canine patients and procedures to determine whether sedation or general anaesthesia is most appropriate.
• Apply recent advances in sedative agents and protocols to improve safety and recovery.
• Tailor sedation plans for cases requiring short-duration procedures.
