Today, we finalized our installation and training for a new anesthetic gas called sevoflurane. Sevoflurane is one of the safest anesthetic maintainance drugs available. It is commonly used in human pediatric hospitals.
Sevoflurane allows us to maintain our patients in the lightest anesthetic plane possible. This means faster recovery time and less tissue damage that occurs with deep anesthetic planes. Coupled with our comprehensive multi-modal pain management program, our patients will wake up faster, with reduced risk of complications.
Unfortunately, safety does cost, so there is a slight increase in anesthetic/surgical fees. But because we feel all of our patients are as important to us as our own personal pets, safety comes first.
