This field involves multidisciplinary approaches to advance knowledge and practice of anaesthesia and analgesia.  Areas of study include investigations into the foundation of anaesthesia and analgesia, including cellular biology, mechanisms and actions of various anaesthetic and analgesic modalities, modeling of compounds, apparatus and modalities related to anaesthesia and analgesia. Studies can also be conduted on interactions of various anaesthetic and analgesic modalities on the integrated biological systems encompassing the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal, and muscular systems. Methods of patient monitoring such as temperature, ECG, invasive and non-invasive blood pressure, oximetry, cardiac output and respiratory gas analysis can be investigated for adaptation to veterinary practices. Innovations can be made in respiratory, haemodynamic and neurophysiological methodologies, including pain quantification in the clinical setting for improvement of patient care and safety. Researches conducted also also include preclinical and clinical studies in the validation of new drugs and protocols for veterinary practice.
