Objective :

At the end of the course, the student would :

acquire basic anaesthestic skills
understands the general principles of veterinary surgery and surgery techniques,appreciate the importance of asepsis and post-surgery patient care
acquire basic radiology skills

Synopsis :

This course includes sections on anaesthesia, general principles of veterinary surgery and radiology).
The anaesthesiology section emphasises the importance of pre-anaesthetic, anaesthetic, and post-anaesthetic periods. Its aim is to introduce to the students various types of anaesthesia, routes of administration, types of equipments, procedures for specific cases and procedures during emergencies and intensive care.
The teaching of general veterinary surgery uses laparotomy in canine and ruminant as an example procedure for surgical training. Surgical procedures and their indications to treat diseases or conditions requiring surgical intervention on small and large animals will be introduced in this course and continued in VPK 3202 Veterinary Surgery II. Clinical signs, diagnosis, surgical treatment and post-surgical care of each case will be discussed.
The radiology section deals with principles of radiography, radiation safety, techniques of taking radiographs and processing X-ray films and reading the radiographic films).
