Monitoring During 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 is 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
CO2 (Carbon dioxide expelled)
- Important monitor of adequate breathing and lung function during anesthesia
Blood pressure
- Monitored to ensure that blood, with oxygen and nutrients, is being delivered to the organs throughout the body for normal function during anesthesia and afterward
Body temperature
- Hypothermia is always a concern with anesthesia and ensuring adequate body temperature is important for appropriate anesthetic metabolism and quick recovery from anesthesia
