Small Animal Surgical Nursing: Skills and Concepts Book

The book is organised into four main parts - pre-operative considerations, intra-operative considerations, post-operative considerations and finally a special section on high-volume spay-neuter clinics. The separate chapters contain a wealth of practical information presented in a clear and concise way. The colour photographs and line diagrams are of a high quality and help bring the book to life. Specific procedures (e.g. the placement of intravenous canulae) are highlighted in box format and there are numerous tables of information for quick reference. Each chapter starts by outlining the learning objectives and finishes with a summary of the key points and a question and answer section. At the end of the book there is a section of appendices providing at-a-glance access to information on dosage calculations and infusion rates.
