Patient Monitoring

We really empathize with our patients! 

From monitors like heart and blood pressure to comforts like a heated cage floor and blankets, we want your pet to be as safe and happy as possible. We also use pheromone diffusers to help keep your furry kid feeling right at home.

Stratham-Newfields Veterinary Hospital uses the most up-to-date pain management protocols, advanced monitoring equipment, and the safest anesthesia available. At SNVH, a Credentialed Veterinary Technician is dedicated exclusively to carefully monitoring your pet from the moment anesthesia is administered until your pet is recovered and awake. Our technicians are very "hands on" and will be assessing your pet's heart rate, respiratory rate, gum color, and depth of anesthesia with their hands, ears, and eyes.

In addition to a Credentialed Veterinary Technician, for your pet's safety, electronic equipment throughout the entire procedure continuously monitors your pet, including:
  • Heart (EKG)
  • Arterial Oxygen Level (spO2)
  • End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide
  • Core Temperature
  • Respiration 
  • Blood Pressure
  • Computer Controlled Ventilator Anesthesia machine (enables precise controlled inhalant drug administration)

The most critical time in anesthesia is recovery, yet that is when many hospitals stop monitoring the patient.  Our staff carefully monitors every patient before, during and after every anesthesia procedure.  We even have overnight staff available for patients who need a little extra care.
