Nineteenth-century surgery

  
Welcome to the Veterinary Anesthesia & Analgesia Support Group website. The site is built and maintained by general practitioners who have established above average anesthetic programs within our own practices. This site is intended to serve as a centralized source of information capable of assisting those interested in advancing veterinary anesthesia within their small animal practice. As the site is expanded we will be providing a number of resources here to help you locate suppliers for agents, advice when considering additional monitoring equipment, and protocols for utilizing newer agents and techniques.

The International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management (IVAPM) is an interdisciplinary veterinary organization dedicated to improving the identification, prevention, and relief of pain in animals. The IVAPM membership is inclusive of primary care veterinarians and their veterinary nurses, as well as people from all walks of life with an interest in the management of animal pain. As the organization matures, subsets will be created to accommodate the varying needs of different constituencies. Ultimately, the IVAPM will be a certifying body that offers variable levels of certification depending upon individual credentials. The IVAPM’s annual meeting includes the general membership meeting, as well as pain-management CE.

International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management

 
The International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management (IVAPM) is an inclusive group of likeminded compassionate animal health care providers from around the world. The IVAPM is open to any and all interested individuals. Advanced animal pain management is one of the least well understood and least well addressed aspects of veterinary practice. Effective pain management creates a framework that increases the quality and extends the duration of a pet's life. 

Even in the human profession, where pain management associations have been focused on the importance of human pain management for 35 years, they consider pain management one of the least well managed aspects of human health care. 

The IVAPM needs your support. We need to form a collective voice to help carry this important message forward to the profession and the pet owning public. The Hospital Discount group membership fees are very affordable! 

Please click on the IVAPM logo to access the membership form and join today. Remember, IVAPM members are eligible to receive the Journal of Veterinary Anesthesia & Analgesia for only $68.00 US.
