Anesthesia Monitoring
Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT)
A technician is dedicated to your cat from the time he enters until dismiss and follow up. The CVT is the most important monitor during an anesthetic procedure. The CVT is trained to monitor the patient throughout the entire procedure, from induction until recovery. The vital signs are trended to ensure that the patient remains stable throughout the procedure.
