Procedural and Miscellaneous Equipment used in Veterinary Practice

  There are many medical equipments are widely used in the pet hospitals, such as radiography machines (mobile x ray machine, digital x ray machines, etc.), laboratory machines and so on.

  Now, we introduce other two machines in veterinary practice .They are Procedural and Miscellaneous Equipments.

Procedural Equipment

  The basic inhalation anesthesia machine used in surgeries delivers a controlled amount of anesthetic agent mixed with oxygen and provides a method of assisting the patient's breathing. All anesthesia machines carry the same four components: a gas source (usually oxygen), a gas pressure regulator, a flow meter that controls the amount of gas entering the patient, and a vaporizer that delivers a concentration of the anesthetic agent into the patient.

  Machines that monitor the patient's heart rate and blood pressure, the amount of carbon dioxide being expelled during breathing and the amount of oxygen in the blood are common in modern surgical suites.
Dental cleanings require an ultrasonic dental unit that uses sound waves to generate energy from a stationary shank down to a detachable head. Operating at 25,000 cycles per second, the unit causes the head to vibrate and separate calculus and stains from tooth surfaces. An aerosol mist generated from the head keeps the surface cool.

Miscellaneous Instrument

 Vet clinics use various other machines to take care of their patients. Autoclaves sterilize instruments and materials used in surgeries and dental procedures.

 Intravenous pumps deliver fluids and medication directly into the veins of sick patients.

  Special tables whose height and angle can be adjusted are designed for surgical suites to facilitate veterinary procedures.
