How do you ensure the safety of my cat under anesthesia? - Four Paws At Fulshear
The same monitoring used during human anesthesia is used for cats. This includes checking blood pressure, EKG, oxygen levels with the pulse ox, CO2 levels in the blood, temperatures, jaw tone, respiratory rate, and heart rate. A veterinary technician is assigned to monitor the pet while it's under anesthesia.

How do you ensure the safety of my cat under anesthesia? - Blue Oasis Pet Hospital
Safety is paramount when your cat is under general anesthesia. The overseeing doctor and a dedicated nurse, usually a licensed veterinary technician, will be present during the procedure. We also use monitors to keep track of the heart rhythm, blood pressure, oxygen levels, breathing, and temperature of the cat.
