Key result
Patient monitoring during anesthesia emphasizes cardiovascular and respiratory parameters but must not substitute for essential clinical judgment.
Clinical judgement remains paramount and cannot be replaced by monitoring techniques during anaesthesia.
Clinical judgment must remain central to anesthesia monitoring in small animals; confirms expert consensus but leaves integration protocols open.
The various techniques of monitoring which may be carried out during anaesthesia are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the important parameters such as those associated with the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The importance of clinical judgement is also emphasised, and this should not be substituted by monitoring.
