Part 1 - Frank J. Milne State-of-the-Art Lecture: Moving Equine Anesthesia from an Art Toward a Science - John A. E. Hubbell Since dawn of the modern era of equine anesthesia and analgesia in the 1960s, significant advances have been driven by the development of complex surgical procedures and advanced imaging modalities that required extended periods of general anesthesia. Despite the many advances, however, anesthesia of the horse remains more perilous than anesthesia of the other domestic species. During his lecture, acclaimed veterinary anesthesiologist Dr. John Hubbell will trace the development of modern anesthetic methods, identify current best practices and areas of needed improvement, and postulate pathways for enhancing the safety of equine anesthesia in the future. Dr. Hubbell is the chief of anesthesiology at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Ky., and holds the title professor emeritus of veterinary clinical sciences at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. He’s been a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia since 1982. After receiving his veterinary degree from Ohio State in 1977, Dr. Hubbell served an equine surgery internship at the University of California, Davis before returning to Ohio State as a resident in veterinary anesthesiology. He served on faculty at Ohio State from 1982 until 2015, when he joined Rood and Riddle. Dr. Hubbell is author of numerous articles on veterinary anesthesia and co-author of two textbooks: Handbook of Veterinary Anesthesia and Equine Anesthesia Monitoring and Emergency Therapy. He speaks frequently on the topic at the AAEP Annual Convention and at other conferences and meetings. |
