Veterinary Anesthesiology and Surgical Techniques
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The course aims to provide the students a practical-based learning in Veterinary Anesthesiology and Surgical Techniques. In particular the Anestesiology Module is aimed to provide the theoretical and practical knowledge of pre-operative management of the surgical patient, including general anesthesia induction and mantainece protocols, pain management. Regarding the Surgical Techniques module the student will learn the basic principles of operating room, surgical team and patient management. All the basic and specialistic surgical techniques required to design and lead a surgical session will be provide to the student.
Expected learning outcomes
1) Knowledge and understanding:
The student shall demonstrate to have learned the Anesthertic and Surgical concepts provided during the entire course. He shall prove awareness of drugs administration and their protocols in small and large animals, operating room, surgcal team and patient manegement and basic and specilistic surgical techniques.
2) Ability to apply knowledge and understanding:
The student shall prove his competence to use the aquired knowledge to design anesthetic and /or surgical protocols and to design basic and specialistic surgical sessions.
3) Autonomy of judgement:
The student shall be able to provide ability to evaluate different anesthetic and /or surgical submitted protocols by his own.
4) Communication skills:
The student shall provide ability to communicate in the professional field using the right terminology

Lesson period
First semester
During the COVID-19 emergency the courses half of the students will attempt the lecture while in the classroom, the other will follow the lecture in dreaming on Microsoft Teams platforms. All the lectures will be recorded and uploaded on Ariel platform of the single teacher. Exercise activities will follow the same modality. When necessary, i.e. practice exercises, student will be divided in smaller groups to attend dedicated laboratories
Assessment methods and Criteria
The exams are in number of 8 and are held in the months of: January, February, April, June, July, September, October and November.
Extraordinary exam will be scheduled for students who are not on the course in accordance with the provisions of the Consiglio di Coordinamento Didattico.
The exam will be performed only in writing form with 30 multiple choice questions divided into 15 questions per teaching module. The exam is considered approved with a minimum of 18 correct answers. Each correct answer is equivalent to 1 point. The exam will be performed in electronic form at the Settore Didattico, via dell'Università, 6 Lodi, or on-line using the Moodle Platform The aim of the proposed questions is: testing the theoretical knowledge of the candidate in relation to the program carried out during the course.

Teaching methods
- Lecture (2CFU - 16 hours: give the veterinary analgesia and anestesia principles of the student, tracing practical guidelines through a theoretical approach in the classroom and a clinical method during the laboratory session. Basic approach of intensive care, especially related to the post-operative condition of critical ill patients, will be given. Basic wild and zoo animal anesthetic techniques will be given.
- Practical class (1 CFU - 16 hours): the activities enclose clinical cases discussion in the classroom and hands on laboratory of semiotic anesthesia using isolated horse legs.
