Dog undergoes anesthesia for routine prophy at Olathe Animal Hospital

[PGMEagle]

I would do this for my dog but it is so expensive

[MsLucinana]

What a lovely, well behaved calm dog. Not nice for her to go through this but necessary. Good girl!

This is a very helpful video. I hadn't seen the baby socks before---good idea. What type of warm blanket did you call that on the dog? Thank you,

Thanks for sharing this video, nice to have a "behind the scenes look". Well done.

Great pillow! I think this is a fabulous video.

So ironic the "constructive" criticism in regard to the video. Even among the most distinguished specialists there are disagreements about the most important parameters to monitor (BP is important but also very difficult to rely on with most veterinary monitors) Most experts agree that a trained tech is the most imp "Monitor".

There is usually more than one way to do the same thing and the way you were taught is not the only way.

Nice video... would like something like this for my clients.

Showing this video to clients in your hospital would be a great way to avoid commentary from the peanut gallery!

BP is the MOST IMPORTANT peramiter to monitor - remember without adequate blood pressure there is inadiquate blood perfusion to the brain, kidneys, liver, GI tract, etc which will shorten the life of the patient. I've placed countless, young, healthy animals under anesthesia using MAC levels of ISO or SEVO and have encountered profound hypotension requiring boluses of IV fluids along with colloid and/or a dobutamine CRI

You share our passion about educating everyone about the importance of safe anesthesia and monitoring. The comments we receive here are shared with our team to help create a better experience for our patients.

That's really poor sterile technique by holding the male adaptor and syringe cap in your mouth! Nobody bagged the patient after induction for apnea or even to test for an ET cuff leak. Why no BP monitoring?

[olatheanimalhospital]

Thanks for the comments, those are really good observations. We talked to the technician about not holding the adaptor plug in his mouth (for what it's worth, it's just the cap in his mouth, not the actual plug). If we redo this video, we will be sure to mention that we do monitor BP in senior patients. I know our technicians do a great job of monitoring for apnea and cuff leaks but may have had "stage fright" with the camera on--something to keep in mind for future videos!

very nice video! no pre-oxygenation prior to induction?

[olatheanimalhospital]

We do pre-oxygenate senior patients, but Breeanna is a young, healthy dog, and we did not pre-oxygenate her. Thanks for your comment!
