Anaesthesiology

The Anaesthesiology unit is responsible for sedation, general anaesthesia and pain therapy through the application of advanced analgesic techniques, including locoregional. The unit's services are intended for companion, farm and unconventional animals, also in critical conditions.

The unit's services start with the animal's preoperative clinical examination and continue throughout the intraoperative phase, up to the recovery room; cooperation with pet owners is essential throughout the entire process. The unit also offers assistance to ensure pets have comfort and dignity in their final moments.

The unit's staff is composed as follows:

  • Prof. Giulia Maria De Beneditcits (Head of Unit)
  • Dr. Luca Bellini
  • Dr. Massimo Bucci
  • Dr. Martina Cardinali
  • Dr. Alessia Franzoso
