VT3053 Surgical Exercises I

This course is a practical training session for veterinary technicians to become familiar with anesthesia, surgical supplies/equipment, and surgical procedures. There is a  heavy emphasis on hands-on experience. The class is divided into small groups for better supervision and learning. The initial laboratories will familiarize the students with anesthetic drugs, dosage calculations, anesthetic equipment setup and care, patient monitoring, and gowning /gloving to assist in surgery.  In the final rotations, each group is responsible for taking a patient from the pre-operative examination and laboratory evaluation through to patient recovery and post-operative care. These live surgeries will combine practical experience with knowledge learned in previous surgical labs and other theory classes.
