Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring

We make it a priority to ensure that your pet has a safe anesthetic experience tailored to its individual needs: – We provide each patient with pre-anesthetic blood work – We use the safest and shortest-acting induction agent available – We use sevoflorane, the same product that is used on humans, resulting in a quicker recovery for your pet – We give each animal an IV catheter, and place each patient on fluids to maintain its blood pressure – A technician monitors heart rate and oxygen saturation throughout the procedure – We believe that adequate pain control is essential to the speedy recovery of our patients

Patient Monitoring

We monitor our patients closely to keep them as safe as possible during procedures that require general anesthesia. A veterinary technician will continually assess your pet’s heart and respiratory rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs to help prevent any anesthetic risk.

Please feel free to ask us about our patient monitoring protocol or any concerns you might have about your pet’s procedure. We’d be happy to discuss these matters in more detail.
