agent is used to induce anesthesia to prevent the frightening stages that gas
anaesthesia can cause during induction. We then maintain anaesthesia with isoflurane
while providing plenty of oxygen. Every surgery patient has an intravenous (IV) catheter
placed before anesthesia. All our patients are kept warm during anesthesia with a
circulating hot water blanket.
During anaesthesia, your loved one is carefully monitored throughout the entire
procedure. An apnea alert is used to constantly monitor breathing. The pulse rate and
oxygenation levels of the tissues are monitored by a pulse-ox machine. We have an
electrocardiogram (ECG) unit and the ability to measure blood pressure is also available
if need arises.
After surgery, your pet will receive an antibiotic injection to prevent infection and an
injection for pain. We may even place a bandage on the incision. A warm, soft bed is
provided to help comfort the patient while waking from anaesthesia.
