Ultrasound-guided analgesia techniques
In this dvm360® interview, Tasha McNerney, BS, CVT, CVPP, VTA (Anesthesia and Analgesia), shares how these techniques often used in human medicine are now being incorporated in veterinary medicine
In a dvm360® interview, Tasha McNerney, BS, CVT, CVPP, VTA (Anesthesia and Analgesia), faculty for the Directions in Veterinary Medicine (DIVM) symposium in Miami, Florida, updates us on the latest in leveraging ultrasound-guided techniques for veterinary pain management.
Register today for the Directions in Veterinary Medicine symposium in Miami, Florida taking place May 19-20, 2023.
The following is a partial transcript of the video.
