  • Hypercapnia associated with respiratory depressant drugs is extremely common in anesthetized patients.
  • Treatment of hypercapnia/hypocapnia depends on the underlying cause; however, hypercapniais frequently.
  • Oxygenation can be assessed non-invasively (pulse oximetry) or invasively (arterial blood gas), each with their own advantages/disadvantages.
  • Mechanisms underlying hypoxemia include: hypoventilation, ventilation-perfusion inequalities, pulmonary or cardiac shunting of blood, impairments to gas diffusion, decreased inspired oxygen levels.
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.
