Our specialist anaesthesia and analgesia team plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of all our patients. Led by Diplomates of the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia (ECVAA), our department provides individualized perioperative care for every pet. Here are some key points that underline the importance of our anaesthesia and analgesia department within the hospital:
Comprehensive Care: We believe in individualised care, from pre-operative evaluation to post-operative recovery. Our team ensures optimised anaesthetic and analgesic protocols, 24/7 monitoring, and patient-focused support.
Patient Comfort First: Our primary concern is each patient’s comfort and welfare. Our team is focused on constant monitoring and tailored care for each individual patient always supervised by our qualified veterinary nurses and highly specialised veterinary anaesthetists.
Qualified Veterinary Nurses: Our excellent team of qualified veterinary nurses assists the anaesthesia team. They monitor anesthetised patients, provide pre-operative and post-operative care, and contribute to patient well-being.
Advanced Facilities: ChesterGates boasts state-of-the-art facilities, including top of the range monitoring equipment, ultrasound for locoregional anaesthesia, modern mechanical ventilators, neuromuscular blockade monitoring, defibrillator and precise infusion equipment.
Locoregional Anaesthesia: We are highly invested in optimising analgesia and decreasing anaesthetic risk. Nowadays, for most surgical procedures, we utilise locoregional anaesthesia performed with the use of ultrasound and/or nerve stimulator techniques. This multimodal analgesic approach has been shown to decrease anaesthetic risk and improve post-operative analgesia.
