Presentation
Global understanding of veterinary clinical anesthesiology becomes essential for veterinarians, regardless of their area of intervention.In this discipline students have contact with anesthetic procedures for different types of surgeries, making them aware of the importance of this discipline since it is a particular specialty because it does not have an end in itself but it is a means for performing a certain surgery or complementary examination, and even though, however simple it is, there will always be a risk inherent to the anesthetic procedure. Veterinary anesthesia is constantly evolving as a science and specialty within veterinary medicine. The main factors of this evolution are the advances in the development of medical and pharmaceutical technology for domestic animals.

Objectives
Objectives
Acquisition of knowledge about anesthesiology in veterinary medicine in different types of company and production. Pre-anesthetic assessment of patients and clinical decision-making in the pre-anesthetic period (medical stabilization, ASA classification, anesthetic options). Knowledge of the pathophysiology of pain, recognition, evaluation and treatment of it in companion and production animals. Know the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of anesthetic drugs used in veterinary medicine for companion and production animals. Knowledge of the operation and selection of anesthesia and monitoring devices suitable for veterinary patients (pets and farm animals). Knowledge of the various anesthetic options and techniques (local and general anesthesia) and sedation in companion and production animals. Selection of anesthetic protocol appropriate to the animal species and the medical or surgical intervention to be performed.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The educational support will be carried out using models to enhance drug administration techniques. Students will have contact with anesthesia tower models and all the necessary devices for their operation. The learning of anesthesia monitoring is conducted using an anesthesia simulator. The theoretical assessment will have a relative weight of 50% in the final course grade and will be obtained through an intermediate written test and a final assessment covering either the remaining theoretical content or its entirety, depending on the results of the intermediate assessment. To pass a course unit under continuous assessment, students must achieve a grade of 10 or higher in all partial theoretical assessments. For approval in the practical component, students must obtain a minimum weighted average grade of 10 across all assessment moments. The final course grade is the weighted average of the theoretical and practical assessments.
