Post-anaesthesia standards of care are essential to ensure the safe recovery of animals from anaesthesia. Proper post-anaesthesia care can prevent complications and promote a successful outcome. This includes monitoring the animal’s vital signs, maintaining a stable body temperature, managing pain, and providing appropriate support and nutrition. It is important for veterinary practices to establish and adhere to strict post-anaesthesia standards of care to ensure the highest level of safety and comfort for animals under their care. By providing proper post-anaesthesia care, veterinary practices can also improve client satisfaction and trust in their services.
