Vital Signs Monitoring is way for us to minimize the risk in anesthesia. Monitoring by humans is always part of this. The veterinarian and Licensed Veterinary Technicians monitor each patient's color, capillary refill, and respiration. The new electronic vital signs monitors add another layer of safety to anesthesia since they measure values that humans can't.

The VSM7 is the most advanced veterinary vital signs monitoring and screening system on the market. It measures:

• ECG
• Pulse Oximetry
• Respiration
• Body Temperature
• Blood Pressure
• Capnography

Our two monitors measure all the above and also use their computers to control a patient heating pad. Small patients can quickly develop dangerous hypothermia if external heating sources are not used.
