Welcome to the official website of the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia

Text

The European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia (ECVAA) is the central authority regulating and certifying the standards of Specialisation in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Pain Management (analgesia) in Europe.

Specialist veterinary anaesthetists play a key role in anaesthesia and analgesia in all animal species and bring a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology to the practice of anaesthesia.

Veterinary anaesthesia specialists collaborate closely with colleagues in other disciplines, such as surgery, internal medicine, diagnostic imaging and critical care.
