This is the third in the series of essential questions to ask your vet before your cat goes for an anesthetic to ensure that they receive the best care possible and that their anesthetic is as safe as possible. Check out the first in the series on recovery here. In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of monitoring your cat's blood pressure during anesthesia and why it plays a vital role in ensuring their safety and well-being.
Many drugs used in anesthesia, including anesthetic gas, can have a significant impact on dropping your cat's blood pressure during their anesthetic. Abnormalities in blood pressure can indicate other underlying issues or complications, such as hypotension (low blood pressure) or hypertension (high blood pressure). Early detection allows for timely intervention and appropriate adjustments to anesthesia, mitigating potential risks.
