General anaesthesia is required for most surgical procedures. In addition to planned operations, our technical and personnel resources also allow us to perform operations in acute emergencies. A general clinical examination is carried out on all horses to check the patient's suitability for anaesthesia and surgery.

The horses are given central venous access, sedated and brought to a controlled lying position using an injection anaesthetic. A crane is used to transport them to the operating table. After a tube is inserted into the windpipe, the horses are connected to a modern anaesthesia machine and ventilated using a respirator. A comprehensive monitoring system monitors the horse's cardiovascular functions and respiratory gas values. After the anaesthetic, the horse wakes up under observation in a padded recovery box. Depending on the procedure, previous illnesses and age of the horse, the recovery phase can be supported by various systems. When the horse can stand and walk safely again, it is returned to its box and carefully fed under observation.
