Breathing Easy: Understanding the Anesthesia Machine
A comprehensive overview of the basic principles behind anesthesia machines and the flow of gases during anesthesia procedures. We will cover the essential components of both the rebreathing and non-rebreathing systems, including the oxygen source, vaporizer, one-way valves, and scavenging system. Choosing the appropriate size breathing circuit and reservoir bag for each patient will be covered. Finally, we will review the importance of managing and minimizing waste anesthetic gas (WAG) exposure to protect both veterinary staff and the environment. The session will conclude with practical tips for safely handling and minimizing WAG exposure.

This week’s review acknowledges the team at Oak Heart Veterinary Hospital at Person Street with a special note directly from their client, The Moxley Family. Well done!
“Dear Oak Heart Staff,
Chris, Cooper, and I just wanted to extend an enormous thank you to all of you for helping our family reunite in Paris, where we are all together and relaxing after a stressful few days.
From answering our 5000 questions to doing everything in your power to make sure he got on his flight when UPS delayed his paperwork, you have all gone above and beyond to help us make this move as easy on Cooper as possible. I really think every single person on the team played some part in making sure Cooper got to Paris!
Our pup means everything to us, and we are so appreciative for the years of excellent care he received in Raleigh and for all you have done for us during this transition. Even the medication plan worked perfectly, taking the edge off the flight and allowing him to be more mellow with 9 other dogs in a small space than we ever thought possible.
You all are the absolute BEST and we could not have done it without you. Thank you, truly, for everything you have done for our family. We could not ask for better veterinary care.”
