The relationship between animals and humans has changed to that of a "family member," and the demand for advanced medical care for farmed animals is increasing year by year. In addition, just as with people, animals are aging, and there is an increasing demand for risky veterinary care, such as medical care for animals with various underlying diseases. In particular, sedation and anesthesia are essential in veterinary medicine for various surgeries and procedures, and the accumulation of clinical data for the safe implementation of these procedures is extremely important. We have been investigating the effects of many combinations of anesthetics and analgesics on living organisms, and have been studying safer clinical usage (see the picture and figure: Effect of tramadol, lidocaine, and dexmedetomidine on the reduction of sevoflurane anesthesia requirements). In recent years, much attention has also been paid to the degree of pain felt by animals and how to manage it, and the development of appropriate pain management methods has become an urgent issue. To address these issues, we are currently conducting research on a new biometric monitor with the aim of implementing and realizing veterinary care with less pain (see photo: PTA monitor). In addition, we would like to study the development of safe and comfortable animal management methods for more severely injured animals, such as intensive care and early post-operative recovery programs, in collaboration with veterinarians and veterinary nurses.
