Anesthesia for dogs and cats

We offer anesthesia for dogs and cats for surgical procedures. When it comes to surgical procedures, the right anesthetic is crucial and we take into account the animal's breed, age, general condition and type of surgery when considering which anesthesia is best suited. Our experienced team of veterinarians and animal caretakers are trained in the use of anesthesia to ensure a stress-free experience for the animals.

We use modern monitoring equipment to individually adjust the dosage to each patient while maintaining constant monitoring of vital functions. Whether it is inhalation of gas or intravenous liquid form, we ensure a thorough and gentle anesthesia with a short recovery time. Whatever is planned, you can trust that your four-legged family members are in safe hands with us. We are here to ensure that your dog or cat receives the best care during anesthesia so that they can quickly return to their happy, healthy selves.

A safe medical team at A-Vet

During our surgeries, not only the surgeon but also an experienced animal caretaker is present to continuously monitor the anesthesia. This extra layer of care reduces the risk of complications. Our skilled veterinarians are thoroughly trained in a variety of medical fields and are ready to handle everything from preventative health checks to emergency situations. We are dedicated to staying up to date on the latest medical advances in order to provide the most modern and effective treatment for your animals.

At the same time, we recognize that anesthesia always involves some risk. Our dedicated anesthesiologist closely monitors the patient's vital signs including respiration, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate and ECG throughout the procedure. Any complications such as low blood pressure are professionally managed although this may incur additional costs for the owner.

Mindray Veta 5 – Anesthesia care without compromise

The Mindray Veta 5 is an advanced anesthesia and monitoring machine used during surgical procedures to ensure that patients receive the correct amount of anesthesia and that their vital signs are continuously monitored. This equipment is specifically designed to handle the anesthesia needs of small animals such as dogs and cats, making it a valuable tool in veterinary medicine.

Features related to anesthesia

  1. Precise Dosing of Anesthetic Gases: The Veta 5 can administer precise amounts of inhalational anesthetics such as isoflurane or sevoflurane, which are critical to maintaining the correct depth of anesthesia throughout the procedure. This reduces the risk of over- or underdosing.
  2. Airflow control: The machine can also adjust and monitor airflow to ensure the animal receives the correct amount of oxygen as well as provide proper ventilatory support during the procedure, which is important for animals with reduced lung capacity.

Monitoring during surgical procedures

  1. Continuous monitoring of vital signs: The machine has built-in monitoring systems that track heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen level (SpO2), body temperature and respiratory rate. This enables the vet to react quickly if the patient's condition changes during the operation.
  2. Alarm functions: Veta 5 has advanced alarm systems that alert the operator to abnormal values, such as a drop in blood pressure or changes in oxygen saturation, ensuring a rapid response to potential complications.
  3. Patient data integration: The system can also store and display the patient's vital signs in real time, providing a clear picture of the patient's condition before, during and after the procedure.

Overall, the Mindray Veta 5 provides peace of mind for both veterinarian and patient through accurate anesthesia control and comprehensive monitoring of critical vital signs during surgical procedures. This helps to reduce risk and improve patient safety in the operating theatre.

Continuous monitoring

After surgery, the animal is gently placed back in its cage on a soft mattress carefully wrapped to maintain body heat. Continuous monitoring before, during and after surgery ensures that we can provide the necessary care for a safe and positive process of waking up from sedation or anesthesia. At A-Vet Small Animal Clinic, no animal leaves the clinic while still in a sleeping state and we strive to provide the best care throughout the patient's stay with us.
