Welcome to the Italian Society of Veterinary Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine (ISVRA) website, the first and the one veterinary society about regional anaesthesia.

Use the menu on your left to surf the site, including on-line continuing education and ISVRA official Journal (VRA).

In people imaginary the anaesthetist makes the patient asleep.

In the real world the anaesthetist protects the patient from surgical aggression, not necessarily having to make him asleep to achieve that.
