Anesthesia
Our goal is to provide the safest anesthetic experience for each and every patient. Surgical patients’ vitals (including heart rate, ECG, blood pressure, temperature, respiratory rate, oxygenation, end tidal CO2, etc.) are closely monitored using both anesthetic monitoring equipment and by a dedicated team member. Because each patient is unique, individual anesthetic protocols are determined by physical exam findings, age, surgical procedure, and any underlying illness. Running pre-anesthetic lab work helps to reduce the risk of anesthesia. Checking organ function and performing a complete blood count will give the doctor information regarding your cat’s health and help to determine the appropriate anesthetic protocol. After surgery, patients are closely monitored to provide a smooth and healthy recovery.
