Before anaesthesia, a qualifying visit takes place, during which the anesthesiologist assesses the animal’s health state, orders additional tests (blood tests, echocardiography, X-ray, ultrasound and others) and pre-plans the entire procedure , determining the anesthetic risk according to the so-called ASA classification.
Anaesthesia is a multi-stage process that starts at home! Proper animal preparation includes compliance with recommendations regarding fasting and administration of prescribed medications (painkillers/sedatives).
At Saskavet, we have modern equipment for inhalation anaesthesia, MINDRAY Veta 5, with a built- in respirator and a cardio monitor.
This allows for a comprehensive assessment of the animal’s condition within the perioperative period and a quick response when complications occur.
At Saskavet Clinic, our goal is to provide the highest level of anesthesia care possible. The anesthesiologist has at his disposal a modern MINDRAY Veta 5 anesthesia machine with a built-in respirator, and a cardiomonitor on which the patient’s vital parameters are continuously monitored. This allows for a comprehensive assessment of the animal’s condition in the perioperative period and a quick reaction in the event of any complications.
Thanks to constant improvement of qualifications, we specialize in anesthesia of animals with increased anesthetic risk – elderly patients, pediatric patients and those with comorbidities, as well as dogs and cats of specific breeds (whose anesthesia requires an individual approach) – such as brachycephalic breeds, greyhounds, or dogs with a the MDR gene mutation.
An individual approach to each patient, modern equipment and qualified staff allow us to provide high-quality anesthetic care from the moment the animal is admitted until it fully wakes up.
At SaskaVet, anesthesiology and pain management is handled by DVM Hanna Domańska.
