Lecture 6: Anesthesia monitoring equipment Flashcards
1
Q
What are the ACVAA monitoring guidelines?
A
- ensure adequate blood flow
- ensure adequate arterial blood oxygen
- ensure ventilation is adequately maintained
- ensure body temperature does not seriously deviate from normal
- maintain legal record of significant events and enhance recognition of trends in monitored parameters
- ensure responsible person is aware of patient status at all times during anesthesia and recovery and is prepared to intervene when needed or to alert vet in charge about changes in status
