ANESTHESIA

Chena Ridge Veterinary Clinic features state-of-the-art anesthetic monitoring equipment with the most reliable and accurate measurements of important parameters affecting your pet's anesthesia during dental and surgical procedures. We know that anesthesia is a scary prospect and we take every step to ensure the safety and well being of your animal.

Below are a list of measurements and readings that are recorded throughout an anesthetic procedure.

ECG (Electrocardiogram)

• Continuous reading of the heart rate and rhythm, so that any abnormalities can be addressed in a timely manner
• Especially critical with any history of heart disease

SPO2 (Oxygen saturation)

• Continuous reading of oxygen availability to the tissues of the body
• Important monitor of adequate breathing and lung function during anesthesia
