Pet Advanced Anesthetic Care

Pet Advanced Anesthetic Care

• A comprehensive pre-anesthetic assessment, incorporating relevant tests and laboratory analyses, to thoroughly evaluate the patient’s health status before surgery.
• Tailored anesthetic and pain management strategies aimed at minimizing the risk of anesthetic complications and enhancing patient comfort.
• Dedicated supervision by a certified veterinary technician, focused solely on monitoring each pet’s vital signs and offering assistance before, during, and after anesthesia.
• Administration of intravenous fluids, ventilator assistance, and meticulous monitoring encompassing blood pressure, pulse oximetry, CO2 levels, ECG, and body temperature. Additional arterial blood gas analysis and arterial blood pressure monitoring are conducted as required.
• Implementation of analgesic therapy prior to, during, and post-surgery to manage pain effectively.
• Utilization of advanced anesthesia and pain management techniques, including epidural anesthetics, constant rate infusions, and local or incisional blocks when deemed appropriate.

At Animal Medical Center, we actively involve pet owners in optimizing post-operative pain management for their pets. Providing education and follow-up support after surgery is an integral aspect of our approach. We advocate for home care whenever feasible, aiming to minimize patient stress and facilitate recovery from anesthesia and surgery.

Our recommendations for pain treatment are informed by both pre- and post-surgical assessments, considering factors such as the type of procedure performed, expected pain severity, and observations of your pet’s behavior. After surgery, suggested pain management strategies may include analgesic medications, along with recommendations for rest, restricted activity, and possibly physical therapy.

Upon discharge, our lead surgery technician will reach out to you to check on your pet’s recovery progress and address any questions or concerns you may have.
