Hypothermia is the leading prolonged anesthesia side effect in animals. In both dogs and cats, hypothermia, and even hyperthermia, can often happen with any lengthy surgical procedure – dental or general – or in a patient that has comorbid issues. Veterinary-specific multiparameter digital monitors are the key to quickly determining if an anesthetized patient is becoming hypothermic during a procedure. 

Multiparameter patient monitoring systems can play an invaluable role in diagnostics for companion animals during each phase of a surgical procedure (perioperative, operative and post-operative).Many times, in these patients, the trauma of surgery or the use of anesthetic agents can frequently induce heart issues, expose undetected conditions or activate other complications. Multiparameter monitoring allows veterinarians to make treatment decisions based on the entire surgical picture.

This new addition was designed to complement the LifeWindow One in a streamlined, accessible, and advanced manner — reinforcing Digicare’s reputation for helping clients treat their patients with confidence.
