Thank you for listening to our very first Emergency and Critical Care Education podcast. We were graced with the presence of Dr Andrew Foster, resident in anaesthesia and analgesia at the Royal Veterinary College. We discuss the various tools in our arsenal for managing pain and to provide sedation in the veterinary emergency room.
