Description:

This presentation is ideal for any veterinary professional interested in beefing up their analgesic arsenal. I will include the physiology of the pain process, from the pain pathway, the physiological response and maladaptation, to drug/receptor interaction. This lecture will emphasize the utilization of multimodal therapies designed to lower risk while improving pain relief. I will discuss the mechanisms of action of the main drug types: Opioids, NSAIDS, Alpha2-agonists and the underutilized blocks/epidurals. Attendees will be presented examples to aid in pain recognition/assessment, and tools to bring back to their practice.
