In the first episode of this two-part series, we sit down with Dr. Diego Portela, a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist, to explore the critical role of regional anesthesia in cancer patients. Dr. Portela explains why locoregional blocks are essential for managing pain in oncologic surgeries, the unique benefits they offer for cancer patients, and how these techniques align with the principles of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in veterinary medicine. Tune in to learn how these advanced anesthesia strategies are transforming cancer care.
