Think Anaesthesia is an educational platform provided to Australian veterinary teams by Zoetis, the manufacturer of the Alfaxan® brand of anaesthetics, to expand their knowledge of veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia, so they can raise the standard of care they provide their patients, for improved anaesthetic outcomes.
The website provides veterinary teams with easily accessible, free CPD and practical anaesthesia-related tools and resources for both vets and vet nurses that they can utilise at a time which suits them and fits in with their busy schedules. With a collection of content from both international and local sources, Think Anaesthesia offers animal health professionals an ever-growing resource to remain up to date on this critical area of veterinary practice.
On-demand webinars and podcasts delivered by a range of experts in veterinary anaesthesia are the foundation of the website. The second series of Zoetis Pet Care Podcasts has been produced in association with Think Anaesthesia, focussing on a selection of complex topics within anaesthesia and analgesia. These are dropping throughout Spring, so log on and listen in!
There are also a host of anaesthesia and analgesia-related tools and resources, including anaesthetic depth charts, anaesthetic equipment maintenance logs, anaesthetic monitoring charts, ASA Classification Guides and more, all available on Think Anaesthesia.

Think Anaesthesia contains a dedicated Vet Nurse Monitoring Series, with five on-demand webinars focusing on different aspects of patient monitoring during anaesthesia.
These webinars are all approved for CPD points under the AVNAT registration scheme.

Upcoming Live Webinar
Think Anaesthesia is also bringing you another live webinar on October 22, at 7pm AEDT.
The topic is Paediatric Anaesthesia, presented by Dr. Eleanor Drynan BVSc MANZCVS DACVAA, Specialist Veterinary Anaesthetist at WAVES in WA.
Paediatric and neonatal patients can be physiologically and anatomically challenging to anaesthetise. In addition to their small size, which in itself poses risk, the immaturity of many body systems poses significant complexities for the veterinary team to manage.
This webinar will detail some of the major anaesthetic concerns and complications which can be anticipated in these young animals and help the veterinary team to prepare and feel confident when faced with a paediatric anaesthetic.
