VET 2032 - Clinical Anesthesia, Surgical Nursing and Dentistry for Veterinary Technicians


Credits: 1

This course prepares the veterinary technician student to administer and monitor anesthesia, prepare surgical patients and assist in surgical procedures, and perform dental prophylaxis and radiography. Training manikins and models are used for initial instruction, after which students will work with live cats, dogs and other small animal patients receiving routine surgical and dental care. While completing their clinical requirements, students will have the opportunity to practice previously learned nursing and physical exam skills, and will also gain exposure to clinical techniques that are best practiced on sedated patients, such as urinary catheter placement, orogastric tube placement, Buccal Mucosal Bleeding Time (BMBT)testing, and cystocentesis.
