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.

In this course, we will explore the goals of recovery, what as a minimum should be monitored, how to reduce complications, post-anaesthesia abnormalities and how to set your team up for success moving forward with consistency and a high standard of care.

The aim of telephone triage is to determine the urgency and necessary care level of a patient and provide advice to that client. For every phone call answered, it is our job, as the triage nurse or client care representative to seek to understand what state of emergency the patient is (or is not) in and provide the best care possible. The challenge for us in Veterinary Medicine, is that we are not speaking to the patient, but rather an interpreter of the patient. Therefore our telephone triage technique matters.
