Abstract:
Monitoring equipment has become reliable and affordable for use in general veterinary practice. This article provides a guide to technology, troubleshooting, and obtaining quality data using 4 non-invasive techniques that are commonly used in practice. Pulse oximetry estimates oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in arterial blood, capnography measures the carbon dioxide content of inspired and expired gas, and either Doppler shift detection or oscillometry can be used to measure blood pressure. These useful non-invasive techniques all rely on adequate perfusion of the tissues for optimum function.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
