Monitoring small animal patients in the intensive care unit

Abstract: All patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) have instability in at least one of the major body systems (cardiovascular, neurological and respiratory systems) or the potential for this to develop. If these systems are not functioning appropriately, death can result. The aim of intensive care is therefore to prevent this by monitoring for, recognising and treating any instability. This article focuses on when intensive care is required and how to monitor a patient in the ICU effectively.

“…The MMCS was investigated using a method adapted from the description of Englar (2019) as follows: White mucous membrane = 0, pale pink mucous membrane = 1, and pink mucous membrane = 2. BT measured using an Auricular infrared thermometer (Humm and Kellett-Gregory, 2016). The respiratory rate was measured by the method as follows: One breath is counted each time the chest rises and falls.…”

“…during surgical procedures). Otherwise, veterinarians have to improvise by placing the sensor on other lowpigmented measurement sites such as the lip, vulva or prepuce (Humm and Kellett-Gregory 2016). According to our experience, these highly sensitive measurement sites are poorly tolerated in conscious animals, as well.…”
