Pulse Oximetery Monitor

A pulse oximeter is a specialized computer that monitors an animal’s heart rate and blood oxygen levels.

Animals with problems breathing or under a general anesthetic may not be breathing in enough oxygen; this computer can measure the oxygen level in the blood and alarm us if there is a problem. Supplying an animal in respiratory distress with nasal oxygen or altering the oxygen levels for a patient under anesthetic can be life saving.
