Anaesthesia and Pain Management Webinar

Common mistakes with airway management during anaesthesia in cats and dogs and strategies to avoid them

Lecturer: Dr. Eva Eberspächer-Schweda

Overview:
Effective airway management is a cornerstone of safe anaesthesia in dogs and cats, yet it remains a frequent source of avoidable complications. This lecture focuses on common mistakes encountered during airway management in small animal anaesthesia and highlights practical, evidence-based strategies to prevent them. By addressing patient preparation, intubation, tube selection, and intra-anaesthetic monitoring, the session aims to improve patient safety, reduce perioperative risk, and support confident decision-making in everyday clinical practice.
