Aligned with the 2025 ACVAA Small Animal Anesthesia and Sedation Monitoring Guidelines: a dedicated person with every anesthetized or sedated patient, capnography added as a minimum monitoring recommendation, emergency and reversal doses calculated before sedation, and a standardized handoff into recovery. Adapt it to your clinic.
