New Vaporizers for Inhalant Anesthesia
The Mt. Nittany Veterinary Hospital upgraded all of the vaporizers on our gas anesthesia machines this week. Our older isoflurane vaporizers were replaced with new sevoflurane vaporizers, which will allow us to use sevoflurane as our inhalant anesthetic agent whenever inhalant anesthesia is required.
Although isoflurane is still considered an excellent inhalant anesthetic and is used routinely in veterinary practice, the upgrade to sevoflurane will offer us a little more flexibility and efficiency for procedures and surgery . . . and will also offer a little additional safety for injured, sick, and geriatric patients who require sedation and/or anesthesia!
We’d like to thank Melody and our friends at Abbott Animal Health who worked with us installing and setting up our new sevoflurane vaporizers.
