Procedural and Miscellaneous Equipment used in Veterinary Practice

    
         There are many medical equipments are widely used in the pet hospitals, such
as radiography machines (mobile x ray machine, digital x ray machines, etc.),
laboratory machines and so on.
        
          Now, we introduce other two machines in veterinary practice .They are
Procedural and Miscellaneous Equipments.
Procedural Equipment

          The basic inhalation anesthesia machine used in surgeries delivers a
controlled amount of anesthetic agent mixed with oxygen and provides a method of
assisting the patient's breathing. All anesthesia machines carry the same four
components: a gas source (usually oxygen), a gas pressure regulator, a flow meter that
controls the amount of gas entering the patient, and a vaporizer that delivers a
concentration of the anesthetic agent into the patient.

          Machines that monitor the patient's heart rate and blood pressure, the amount
of carbon dioxide being expelled during breathing and the amount of oxygen in the blood
are common in modern surgical suites.
          Dental cleanings require an ultrasonic dental unit that uses sound waves to generate
energy from a stationary shank down to a detachable head. Operating at 25,000 cycles
per second, the unit causes the head to vibrate and separate calculus and stains from
tooth surfaces. An aerosol mist generated from the head keeps the surface cool.
       Miscellaneous Instrument

        Vet clinics use various other machines to take care of their patients.
Autoclaves sterilize instruments and materials used in surgeries and dental procedures.

        Intravenous pumps deliver fluids and medication directly into the veins of sick
patients.

         Special tables whose height and angle can be adjusted are designed for
surgical suites to facilitate veterinary procedures.
