Monitoring Heart Rate Under Anesthesia

The administration and monitoring of anesthesia for surgical procedures is a complex and multifaceted skill that requires both knowledge and practice. In this video, Megan Brashear, CVT, VTS(ECC), discusses the common causes of tachycardia and bradycardia under anesthesia. By emphasizing the big picture, she discusses ways the anesthetist can determine the cause and begin treatment for abnormal heart rates.

Megan is awesome, this is so helpful.

[@mollyjohnson6197]

This info is just what I needed!! 🙌🏻☺️

[@dancingdog78]

Clear and informative! Thank you!

[@luxurylifestyle2242]

Are you anaesthesia?

[@karendonaldson4367]

Nice and clear although I still have questions about fluid volumes for Bradycardia.

[@sabinefriedli662]

What do you say about waterfilled gloves (warmed up) that you could put next to the pet, possibly even under the sterile towels?

I'm a VA, only been in the field 3 months, no previous experience. My boss is wanting me to learn surgery monitoring, I've been doing it about a week now and I just feel really uncomfortable. I have never been to school for vet related things and monitoring anesthesia is just overwhelming. What would you do in this situation? We are short staffed.

Hey BK, I am currently studying to become a vet nurse and I highly recommend purchasing a membership on AtDove as it is extremely helpful to learn veterinary protocols within clinic :) Megan and the AtDove team are great at explaining the protocols within each topic etc. buy books that help you learn about anaesthesia too! There is a lot of options! If worried always ask your vet!

How do you purchase it if you’re one person

If a small older dog has a murmur, what's the likelihood of clearance for anesthesia? Is neutering possible?

[@amandatemple3328]

I am studying to be a Vet Technician, and at the clinic I am doing work placement right now, some canine patients(particularly) wake up crying/screaming really loud or trying to jump off the table. Is this normal in some patients? Or are the nurses doing something wrong perioperatively?

They should be using multimodal analgesia (so combining drugs that affect different parts of the pain pathway: transduction, transmission, modulation & perception.) Are they using a combination of local blocks, inhalant anesthetics, injectable anesthetics, CRIs? Appropriate monitoring equipment (ECG, BP, capnography) allows you to *prevent* pain instead of just treating it when the animal wakes up. Animals will respond to visceral surgical manipulation, and you can adjust drugs preemptively knowing this (so increasing inhalant drugs as this is happening, for example). I am not an experienced professional, I am learning like you, but this is what I have learned.

Jesus paid the price for our sins so we wouldn’t have to! So trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior. Also repent so you don’t perish
