Description

It is true that anesthesia cannot be 100% risk free for people or pets but it is possible to make it a very controlled, very low risk event. We believe that the risks of the anesthetic procedure should never exceed the risks of the disease. In order to maintain maximum safety we have made several commitments. Most importantly, we recruited and train licensed veterinary technicians and doctors dedicated to anesthetic safety. We maintain an inventory of the best available anesthetic agents and we have assembled sophisticated equipment to provide the most thorough monitoring of our anesthetized patients. Finally, we have created close relationships with anesthetic specialists that allow us to continually upgrade the capabilities of our anesthetic department. Technology plays a very large role in any anesthetic safety program. In-depth monitoring equipment is at the heart of our safety technology. There are no anesthetics that are perfectly tolerated by all patients. Anesthetic complications almost always start as small deviations from normal. Early detection and prompt correction of these deviations is how we consistently achieve a safe final outcome. There is no single monitor that covers all of the important issues facing an anesthetized patient. Complete, thorough monitoring requires a group of monitors, each specialized in a critical element of anesthetic safety. We have invested in 3 ECG Heart Monitors to assess heart rate and rhythm, 3 Pulse Oximeters to measure the blood
