Each anesthetized patient has its pulse rate and oxygen levels monitored throughout the procedure. Higher risk patients also have blood pressure and ECG monitoring. Changes in values on the monitors allow us to make changes to medications and pain control to increase your family member’s comfort and safety. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork, especially in our senior patients, allows us to modify the drug protocols (or postpone the procedure) as another measure of safety.
