Canine breed-specific considerations for anesthesia
- Breed-Specific Anatomical and Physiological Differences: Veterinarians must understand and adapt anesthesia protocols to accommodate the unique anatomical and physiological characteristics of different canine breeds to ensure safety and efficacy.
- Importance of Advanced Monitoring and Pre-Anesthetic Considerations: Advanced monitoring and careful pre-anesthetic planning are essential for managing breeds with specific vulnerabilities, like brachycephalic breeds and sighthounds, to prevent complications during anesthesia.
- Role of Genetic Factors in Anesthetic Sensitivity: Genetic predispositions, such as the MDR1 gene mutation in herding breeds, necessitate pre-procedural genetic testing and careful drug selection to avoid adverse reactions to anesthesia
Dr Robert Trujanovic studied at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Belgrade, where he graduated in veterinary medicine in 2015. He moved to Vienna in 2015 to start his position as assistant doctor in anesthesiology at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, and later, he completed his internship there from 2017-2018.
During this time, his interest in veterinary anesthesia deepened further and he started a residency at the Vetmeduni Vienna in 2018, which was completed in 2021.
In addition, he is a passionate regional anesthetist, passing on his knowledge through the latest learning methods. He led a team of experts in veterinary medicine and invested a great deal of passion into creating the first mobile app - the Vet RA App - focused on the most commonly used nerve blocks in small animals.
