Jurox (UK) Limited has relaunched www.alfaxan.co.uk with a new educational resource to help veterinary professionals implement best practice anaesthesia protocols.

The website now contains a range of information on Alfaxan including user experiences, sections on best practice anaesthesia, webinars and details of Jurox’s anaesthesia roadshows.

The webinars include a presentation which explains how to use Alfaxan to achieve the best anaesthetic experience for the patient. There is also series of short online webinars on rabbit anaesthesia: 

  • Rabbits are different – how rabbits differ in relation to anaesthesia compared to cats and dogs
  • Considerations when booking in and admitting rabbits – ensuring an optimal outcome for your rabbit patients starts at the time of making the appointment
  • Pre-anaesthetic planning and induction - how important pre-anaesthetic planning is in rabbits and best practice induction
  • Considerations for supporting anaesthetised patients - maintaining anaesthesia in the rabbit is not as straightforward as often thought. This presentation goes through the best way to support rabbits during maintenance
  • Considerations when recovering and discharging rabbits - recovery is considered to be one of the most critical stages of anaesthesia -particularly in the rabbit. Find out why and what to do in this short presentation.

An online CPD certificate will be issued to veterinary professionals who have viewed each webinar, after they have taken a short online questionnaire.

The Alfaxan website also offers downloadable resources such as the new Considerations for Anaesthetising Rabbits expert panel guidelines booklet, AVA Anaesthetic Safety Checklist Implemenation manual, AVA Anaesthetic Safety Checklist and Alfaxan resource guides, user guides, dose charts and monitoring charts.

Richard Beckwith, country manager of Jurox (UK) Ltd, said: "Our new Alfaxan website is an educational hub that enables veterinary professionals to learn more about best practice anaesthesia and how this can be implemented in their own clinics.  With Alfaxan’s new pet rabbit indication we have included an emphasis on rabbit anaesthesia and how this differs from anaesthesia in cats and dogs."
