Is that Beep Important? Understanding Your Monitoring Equipment

This talk will review the common monitoring equipment used in veterinary practice. Understanding how the equipment works and what it is specifically reading will give the veterinary technician the knowledge to interpret and troubleshoot. Being able to interpret values both individually and as part of the "big picture" allows for a deeper understanding of what physiologic changes are going on with the patient and how the veterinary technician should respond to changes during anesthesia monitoring.
