Preface

The second edition of the Manual of Equine Anesthesia & Analgesia has been updated and rearranged. Most topics have been expanded and new chapters added. Chapters devoted to the sedation and anesthesia of horses undergoing imaging procedures, anesthesia of donkeys and mules, and recognition of pain in horses and donkeys are now included. Case examples of the pharmacologic control of pain are provided, and information on non‐pharmacologic treatment of acute and chronic pain using acupuncture and physical rehabilitation techniques have also been added. In addition, a suggested reading list is included for the reader who wishes to seek further information on the topic.

This edition of the Manual of Equine Anesthesia & Analgesia strives to deliver relevant information on the physiologic and pharmacologic principles underpinning the anesthesia of equids, in addition to providing useful information on the clinical practice of anesthesia. The Manual has retained the same easily accessible format of the first edition, and we believe that it will be a useful guide to all those involved in the anesthesia of equids.
