As companion animals become cherished members of the family, their medical care is moving closer to the standards of human health. One of the most promising trends in veterinary medicine is continuous physiological monitoring, especially through pulse oximetry and non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitoring.
In both emergency and routine care, oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and blood pressure provide crucial insights into an animal’s cardiopulmonary function. They assist veterinarians in early diagnosis, anesthesia safety, and postoperative recovery management. Yet, unlike in human medicine, many pet owners and even some clinics underestimate the value of these real-time metrics.
Why Monitoring Matters
For animals under anesthesia, such as during surgery or dental procedures, continuous SpO₂ and blood pressure monitoring can literally be life-saving. Hypoxia (low oxygen levels) or sudden blood pressure drops may not present visible symptoms in time. Monitoring allows veterinary professionals to detect abnormalities before they become emergencies.
Moreover, in older pets or those with chronic conditions (e.g., heart disease, kidney dysfunction, or hypertension), regular blood pressure and oxygen checks can help track disease progression and adjust treatment plans proactively. This is especially important as more pets live longer lives due to better nutrition and veterinary access.
Technology for All Species
Modern veterinary monitors need to accommodate the wide physiological diversity across animals—from tiny rabbits and cats to large breed dogs and exotic mammals. Devices must be non-invasive, adaptable, and sensitive to weak signals. This is where specialized veterinary equipment becomes essential.
