When it comes to your pet's health, ensuring their safety during medical procedures is just as important as the procedure itself. At Allambie Vet, we are committed to providing the highest level of care, which is why we have invested in the latest anesthetic technology. Our anesthetic machines are equipped with built-in ventilators to enhance patient safety.
Many pet owners don’t often consider what type of anesthetic equipment their veterinary hospital uses. However, this technology plays a crucial role in ensuring a safer, smoother procedure for your beloved pet. While inbuilt ventilators are standard in human hospitals, they are not commonly found in general veterinary hospitals. It’s easy to assume all veterinary hospitals use the same level of equipment, but that isn’t always the case. Here’s why our investment in advanced anesthetic equipment sets us apart—and how it benefits your pet.
Anesthesia is necessary for various veterinary procedures, from routine desexing and dental cleanings to complex surgeries. However, anesthesia carries inherent risks, particularly for elderly pets, brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds, and those with underlying health conditions such as heart disease, respiratory issues, diabetes, or Cushing's disease.
Our anesthetic machines allow us to provide a higher standard of anesthetic care by:
✅ Ensuring Consistent Oxygen Delivery – Maintaining proper oxygen levels is critical under anesthesia. Providing controlled and consistent oxygen delivery reduces the risk of complications such as hypoxia (low oxygen levels).
✅ Mechanical Ventilation for Improved Breathing – Anesthesia can sometimes depress normal breathing. The built-in ventilator ensures that your pet continues to breathe at a safe, controlled rate throughout the procedure, which is especially important for pets with respiratory issues or those undergoing long surgeries.
✅ Better Management of Carbon Dioxide Levels – Just as oxygen is essential, so is carbon dioxide removal. Poor ventilation can lead to a buildup of CO₂, which may cause dangerous complications. The advanced monitoring features allow us to track and adjust ventilation parameters in real time to keep your pet safe.
✅ Tailored Anesthetic Plans – Every pet is different, and our anesthetic machines allow us to customise ventilation settings based on your pet's specific needs. This is particularly beneficial for pets requiring a more delicate approach to anesthesia, such as older animals or those with heart and lung conditions.
We monitor six key parameters during every anesthetic procedure using our new-generation veterinary multi-parameter monitors. This advanced system continuously tracks the following:
✔ Heart rate & rhythm (ECG) – Ensuring a steady, healthy heartbeat throughout the procedure.
✔ Respiratory rate & effort – Monitoring for signs of breathing distress or irregularities.
✔ Body temperature – Maintaining an optimal temperature to prevent hypothermia under anesthesia.
✔ Oxygen saturation (SpO₂) – Measuring how effectively oxygen is delivered to tissues.
✔ Blood pressure (NIBP/IBP) – Tracking circulation and detecting any signs of instability.
✔ Carbon dioxide levels (ETCO₂) – Monitoring how well your pet expels CO₂ to ensure proper ventilation.
This level of monitoring allows us to detect and respond to even the smallest changes in your pet's condition in real time, further enhancing their safety under anesthesia.
At Allambie Vet, we go beyond the basics to ensure your pet’s safety. Our investment in cutting-edge anesthetic equipment places us at the forefront of veterinary anesthesia care. This means fewer complications, better recovery times, and a safer experience for your pet.
