Capnography in Small Animal Medicine: Enhancing Respiratory Monitoring and Patient Care
Capnography is a vital tool in veterinary medicine that provides real-time monitoring of a patient’s respiratory status. This lecture will explore the practical application of capnography in small animal patients, highlighting its role in detecting respiratory compromise, guiding intubation and anesthesia management, and assessing CPR effectiveness. Attendees will learn how capnography can identify respiratory disturbances and improve patient outcomes through timely interventions. Join us to gain a deeper understanding of how this advanced monitoring technique can enhance safety and care in your practice.

We will start sharing a review each week from around the company. If you have a review you’d like to share, please respond to this email or reach out to marketing@thevetspets.com.
This week’s review acknowledges Dr. Hinn and the team at Carolina Veterinary Dermatology Clinic. Well done!
“As soon as I came through the door I was treated like a member of the family. They were as worried about my pup as I was. They Dr. Hinn understood that I was frustrated that I had been working with other vets and trying to help my puppy for the past year. His skin condition had gotten so bad and my vet and I had tried almost everything. Dr. Hinn laid out everything they were gonna do and set about helping my guy. He was well taken care of, given treats for being a good puppy and he came home that afternoon feeling better already. He didn’t scratch and I think he had the first night sleep he has had, without scratching in a year. It was fantastic. Will I go back… of course I will, no question. And I encourage you and your puppy to as well!!”
