Hertfordshire-based Davies Veterinary Specialists has produced guidelines for conserving oxygen during anaesthesia, in order to help preserve this limited resource during the coronavirus pandemic.

The anaesthesia team has produced a fact sheet, infographic and CPD webinar to help practices minimise the oxygen and volatile anaesthetic agent used in animals safely.

The resources can all be found at: https://vetspecialists.co.uk/oxygen-conservation 

Anaesthetist Sarah Gibson will be following up the webinar with a live online Q&A on Low Flow Anaesthesia on Tuesday 7th April at 2pm; to book your place, email: CPD@vetspecialists.co.uk.

Managing Director Tim Richardson said: "By sharing our practical information on oxygen conservation, we hope we can help our colleagues safely use less oxygen during general anaesthesia and sedation, thus ensuring more of this valuable resource remains available."

Davies Veterinary Specialists' premises remain open for urgent and emergency cases. For all other cases, assistance is being provided via remote consultation, be that either telephone or video.
