Anesthesiology

Veterinary Anesthesiology – CENTREDMVET

Veterinary anesthesiology is an essential discipline for ensuring the comfort and safety of animals undergoing medical or surgical procedures. At CENTREDMVET, we use customized protocols and state-of-the-art equipment to minimize anesthetic risks while maximizing each patient’s well-being.

Why is anesthesiology crucial for your pet?

General anesthesia can lead to physiological disturbances, particularly in animals with pathologies or requiring complex procedures. Each patient is unique and requires a tailored anesthetic protocol. Our objectives:

• Reduce the risks associated with anesthesia.
• Ensure the animal’s comfort before, during and after the procedure.
• Control pain with advanced analgesia techniques.

A specialized team and cutting-edge technologies

Headed by Dr Jean-Jacques Kona-Boun, an anesthesiologist certified by the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia, our department offers :

• Individualized protocols for each patient.
• A team of experienced animal health technicians.
• Modern equipment to monitor and manage vital functions, including..:
  • Electrocardiography (ECG): Monitoring heart rhythm.
  • Capnometry: Measurement of CO2 to assess pulmonary ventilation.
  • Pulse oximetry: Assessment of blood oxygenation and pulse quality.
  • Blood pressure monitoring: Control of cardiovascular parameters.
  • Thermometry: Constant monitoring of body temperature.
• Controlled mechanical ventilation: Used when respiratory parameters require regulation.

Pain management and prevention

Pain management is a priority for our team. Before, during and after surgery, every patient benefits from :

• A personalized analgesic protocol.
• Continuous monitoring to assess signs of pain.
• A proactive approach to preventing post-operative pain, in collaboration with the veterinarians responsible.

   • A thorough assessment of the animal’s state of health.
   • A consultation with the veterinarian in charge to adapt the anesthetic protocol.
2. During anesthesia:
   • Continuous monitoring of vital functions.
   • Real-time management of potential complications.
3. After anesthesia:
