In this educational presentation, we will introduce the concept of procedural sedation in veterinary practice. This includes a review of the basic physiology behind sedation in dogs, commonly-used sedatives, and the use of a reversal agent. Lastly, we will discuss a novel sedative, a combination of the alpha-2-agonist, medetomidine, with the peripheral alpha-2 antagonist, vatinoxan – and how it can improve your clinical practice.
