Dr. Erik Hofmeister on Discussing Anesthetic Risk with Clients

Brace yourself for an episode that’s small in animal size but big on anesthesia challenges! In this installment of the North American Veterinary Anesthesia Society Podcast, we’re diving into the world of pediatric anesthesia——because when it comes to anesthetizing puppies, kittens, and foals, they’re not just small adults (no matter how cute they look when they're just a baby). We’ll cover the unique physiology of pediatric patients, the must-have equipment to keep them safe, and drug protocols tailored to their delicate systems. Plus, we’ll tackle common problems, so you don’t end up feeling like you’re herding foals without a halter when facing a pediatric patient in the clinic.

Joining us is Dr. Ella Pittman [https://www.portcityvet.com/staff/ella-pittman], a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist at Port City Veterinary Referral Hospital—and as of this recording, New Hampshire’s only one! She’ll help us navigate the rollercoaster ride of pediatric anesthesia, from managing their unpredictable metabolism to the tricky waters of their tiny airways. So grab a coffee (or some warm fluids for your patient), and let’s get into it—because these little ones might be small, but the anesthesia challenges are anything but!

Navigating the Rollercoaster Ride of Pediatric Anesthesia with Dr. Ella Pittman

We here at NAVAS are excited to bring you a new podcast episode for the new year! And we're starting out our season of the NAVAS podcast with engaging exploration of pharmacogenetics, a groundbreaking field that examines how the genetic makeup of an animal can influence its response to medications. 

Have you ever had a dog or a cat that took hours, if not days, to finally return to normal after general anesthesia? It's possible that animal had a genetic mutation that altered its metabolic function, causing profound changes in the clinical effects of anesthetic drugs. 

In this episode, we are joined by veterinary anesthesiologist and overall gene-ius Dr. Tania Perez Jimenez, Assistant Professor of Anesthesia at Washington State University College of Veterinary Medication and head its Pharmacogenetics Laboratory. Dr. Perez Jimenez shares her expertise on the genetic factors that impact anesthesia and pain management in dogs and cats. Together with host, Dr. Bonnie Gatson, they will discuss how genetic variations can affect drug efficacy and safety in individual animals, how you can approach anesthetic management in dog breeds that commonly manifest genetic anomalies such as MDR1 mutations, why we may need to alter the way we utilize Propofol and Alfaxalone in cats and certain dog breeds, and how we could all benefit from going to more cat shows.

Debating Anesthesia Foibles and Faux-Paws with Dr. Tasha Bartel

Happy Halloween, and welcome to another chilling episode of the NAVAS podcast, where we venture into the eerie depths of veterinary anesthesia! Join us as we lift the curtain on a topic that, while vital to advanced anesthesia practice, often sends shivers down the spine of even the bravest veterinary professionals—neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) in veterinary patients. 

While paralytic agents play an important role in providing excellent quality muscle relaxation that can help facilitate a variety of procedures, their use often spooks even the seasoned anesthetist, as they can cause frightening problems if not used with great care. After listening to this episode, we hope you can avoid a jump scare anytime you need to use NMBA. 

Our guest for this spine-tingling episode is the highly esteemed Dr. Daniel Sakai from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Sakai, boarded veterinary anesthesiologist, has conducted extensive research on NMBAs, exploring their invaluable role in patient immobilization as well as how to optimize recovery from neuromuscular blockade. He’s here to help us demystify these powerful agents, dissect their practical applications, and reveal how to use them safely and effectively to prevent any nightmarish outcomes for your patients. 

So, as the leaves fall and the shadows lengthen, grab a cozy blanket, tune in, and get ready to learn from one of the top minds in veterinary anesthesia. Just be warned—this episode might leave you spellbound!

Dr. Daniel Sakai on Effective Clinical Use of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents

Welcome to another episode of the NAVAS podcast! How many times in your career, after recommending a surgical or dental procedure for a dog or cat, have you been asked whether a beloved aging pet was too old to be anesthetized? Today, we’re diving into a topic that many veterinary professionals encounter but may not always feel fully prepared for: anesthesia for senior dogs and cats. Older pets can present unique challenges when it comes to sedation and general anesthesia, and understanding how aging impacts their physiology is key to providing safe and effective care. 

In this episode, we have the honor of speaking with Dr. Sheliah Robertson, a veterinary anesthesiologist who is also board-certified in animal welfare and the senior medical director at Lap of Love [https://www.lapoflove.com/], a network of veterinary at-home euthanasia and hospice care providers. Dr. Robertson brings a wealth of experience and insight into the world of anesthesia for geriatric pets. We’ll be discussing everything from anesthetic risks and frailty in older animals to how aging affects vital organ function and what that means for anesthesia protocols. This conversation is guaranteed to be packed with valuable information to enhance your understanding and improve outcomes for your older patients.

Dr. Melina Zimmerman on Postoperative Pain Control at Home - Part 2

In this episode, we're focusing on a critical aspect of post-surgical care: creating a plan to control postoperative pain once our canine or feline patients leave the hospital. We know that managing pain effectively during this period is vital for the recovery and well-being of our patients. With so many medications to choose from, costs to consider, and non-compliance to worry about, how can we optimize our patients pain control at home when there are so many variables to balance? In this episode, we're thrilled to have Dr. Melina Zimmerman lead us through this important discussion. As a veterinary anesthesiologist with additional training in companion animal rehabilitation, Dr. Zimmerman specializes in pain management for surgical and non-surgical conditions at her clinic, The Doggy Gym [https://www.thedoggygym.net/]. In the first part of this two-part episode, we will focus our discussion on opioids and NSAIDs, with an emphasis on ancillary medications and non-pharmaceutical treatment options in our next episode. Have you ever wondered: What oral opioid options do we know are effective analgesics for dogs and cats? Is buprenorphine a great opioid or the greatest opioid? How do you get a fentanyl patch to stick? What’s with all this hype about Galliprant and Tylenol for dogs? If you’re curious about leveling up your analgesia game, we hope you give this episode a listen.

Dr. Melina Zimmerman on Postoperative Pain Control At Home - Part 1

In this episode, we are going to shine the spotlight on a species that doesn’t always get the limelight on this podcast: the horse! Horses pose a unique challenge for anesthetists, especially when we turn off the vaporizer at the end of anesthesia and ask these rather large animals to stand up while under the influence of medications designed to cause sedation and muscle relaxation. In equine anesthesia, the recovery period is a time of considerable risk and has been the focus of prolific research, with many studies attempting to pinpoint risk factors that increase the risk of adverse events occurring in the recovery period and identify pharmaceutical protocols and recovery techniques that will mitigate these risks. 

Lucky for us, we have an exceptional guest joining the podcast to delve into this particularly challenging aspect of veterinary anesthesia. Dr. Stuart Clark-Price is a renowned expert in the field, boasting board certifications in both Large Animal Medicine and Anesthesia, and recently ascended to the role of full Professor of Anesthesia at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. Together, with host  Dr. Bonnie Gatson, we'll explore why recovery from general anesthesia poses such a significant challenge for the horse, shed light on the various risk factors that can increase the likelihood of undesirable recoveries, and share evidence-based recommendations for interventions that can enhance the quality of recovery for equine patients.

Dr. Stuart Clark-Price on Equine Anesthetic Recovery

In our last episode, we introduced a new class of drugs that have recently hit the veterinary market for treating pain associated with osteoarthritis: nerve growth factor monoclonal antibody therapy. Just over one year ago, Librela (bedinvetmab) entered the North American veterinary market, shaking up our traditional pharmaceutical approach to osteoarthritis pain management in dogs. However, Librela has been available in the United Kingdom and Europe for years  Zoetis, the pharmaceutical manufacturer and distributor of Librela, reports that millions of doses of Librela have been administered to dogs since its introduction in 2021, with veterinarians rating their overall satisfaction with the product at about an 8 out of 10. 

What can veterinarians in America learn from the experience of European vets about effectively incorporating this novel drug into an overall pain management plan for dogs with osteoarthritis?

Host Dr. Bonnie Gatson chats with UK veterinary anesthesiologist and internationally recognized expert on companion animal pain management, Dr. Matt Gurney. Dr. Gurney is past president of the European College of Veterinary Anesthesia & Analgesia and now works as an anesthesiologist and pain management expert at Eastcott Referrals in the UK. He is also co-founder of Zero Pain Philosophy, an educational resource for veterinary professionals around the globe with a mission to help achieve excellence in veterinary pain management. Together, they discuss how Librela has changed the way European vets manage osteoarthritis pain in dogs, clinical pearls on using Librela in practice, and side effects observed by European vets compared to anecdotal adverse events that have been reported out of the United States.
