During surgery for animals, unlike in the human market, there is no trained anesthesiologist. In fact, many assistants in the AH market are not clinically trained. For example, one of the most common questions we receive about our AH vitals monitor is that it is beeping and how to shut off the alarms. However, the reason it is alarming is that the animal is in distress and she needed to address the situation, not simply shut off the alarm.
The objective of this project is to research the complications that occur and link the vitals sign monitor to the anesthesia machine in order to have more automated controls and make the process of anesthesia administering and monitoring of the animal more fool proof. However, this will require a lot more research before this is ready for execution.
