Anesthesia


Veterinary anesthesiology has followed human medicine, providing the safest possible anesthetics, assisted ventilation, oxygen delivery, monitoring and vital status support.

Clinical Responsibilities

Administering anesthesia staff, monitor vital functions including heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, respiratory functions, and cardiac output.

They also carefully monitor anesthetic depth, measure concentrations of administered anesthetic gasses, and horse anesthesia recovery. 

Equipment

New Bolton Center is provisioned with state-of-the art anesthesia equipment. We have a pool raft recovery system that helps horses recover from general anesthesia and minimizes any self-inflicted injuries during the wake-up period.

Types of Patients

From healthy animals for routine procedures to patients undergoing complex colic or other soft-tissue procedures as well as fracture-repair surgery.

Patients include:

  • Horses
  • Ruminants
  • Pigs
  • Camelids
  • Zoo and wildlife animals
