Our dedicated team is here to provide urgent, high-quality care for your pets—because they’re family and deserve immediate attention when it matters most!
Making sure our patients remain safe during surgery and other medical procedures is extremely important to us. Our team of veterinarians and veterinary technicians is skilled in using anesthesia and monitoring patients to ensure their safety and provide the most comfortable experience.
Anesthesia and patient monitoring vary greatly from clinic to clinic. You can be confident that we use the most effective and up-to-date protocols. The type of anesthesia we use depends on the procedure. Some require general anesthesia, while others may only call for local anesthesia.
We also closely monitor every procedure, regardless of whether it’s routine or more advanced. For more specific information on our protocols, please see the individual descriptions or contact us with any questions.
When your beloved pet needs surgery or a medical procedure requiring anesthesia, it’s natural to feel anxious about their safety and comfort and have lots of questions. At Broadway Veterinary Hospital, we understand that your pets are more like family, and we treat them with the same level of care and attention we’d want for our own furry friends.
Our experienced team of UC Davis-trained veterinarians combines advanced anesthesia protocols with state-of-the-art monitoring equipment to ensure your pet receives the safest possible care during their procedure. From routine spay and neuter surgeries to complex orthopedic procedures, like TPLO, MPL, and fracture repairs, we maintain the highest standards of anesthesia safety that you’d expect from a trusted practice that truly cares.
Every pet is unique, so we never take a one-size-fits-all approach to anesthesia. Before any procedure, our veterinarians perform a thorough pre-anesthetic examination and may recommend blood work to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. This personalized care is what sets us apart from larger, corporate veterinary chains.
We use the most current anesthesia protocols and medications, tailored specifically to your pet’s age, weight, health status, and the type of procedure they’re having. Whether your pet needs general anesthesia for a major surgery or local anesthesia for a minor procedure, our team has the expertise to keep them comfortable and safe.
Safety begins before your pet even enters the operating room. We require pre-anesthetic fasting to prevent complications, and our team will provide you with specific instructions based on your pet’s needs. For our bulldog patients and other brachycephalic breeds, we take extra precautions due to their unique respiratory anatomy, drawing on Dr. Sam’s specialized experience with these lovable flat-faced friends.
While your pet is under anesthesia, they’re never alone. Our dedicated veterinary technicians provide continuous monitoring throughout the entire procedure, using advanced equipment that tracks vital signs in real-time. We monitor heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, carbon dioxide levels, and body temperature to ensure your pet remains stable throughout their surgery.
Our monitoring equipment rivals what you’d find at specialty hospitals, but with the personal touch and individualized care that only a family-owned practice can provide. This technology is especially important during complex procedures, such as cruciate tear repairs, fracture repairs, and MPL surgeries, which Dr. Tyler specializes in performing.
The monitoring doesn’t stop when the surgery ends. We carefully monitor your pet in our recovery area as they wake up from anesthesia. Our trained staff stays with recovering patients, providing warm blankets, pain management, and gentle reassurance as they return to consciousness. We understand waking up in an unfamiliar place can be scary, so we ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
Modern anesthesia isn’t just about keeping your pet unconscious during surgery; it’s also about ensuring they’re comfortable before, during, and after their procedure. We use multimodal pain management techniques, combining different types of pain relief to provide the most effective and comfortable experience possible.
We constantly update our pain management protocols based on the latest veterinary research and recommendations. The following actions help us keep your pet comfortable:
This comprehensive approach means your pet experiences less discomfort and recovers more quickly from their procedure.
At Broadway Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to offer surgical services that many general practice veterinary hospitals simply can’t provide. Our UC Davis-trained veterinarians have the advanced training necessary to perform complex orthopedic surgeries while maintaining the highest anesthesia safety standards.
Dr. Tyler’s expertise in orthopedic procedures means we can safely anesthetize patients for intricate surgeries, like TPLO repairs and fracture reconstructions. Meanwhile, Dr. Sam’s specialization in brachycephalic surgery means we’re uniquely qualified to safely anesthetize bulldogs and other flat-faced breeds for procedures like soft palate resections and nares corrections.
When you choose Broadway Veterinary Hospital for your pet’s anesthetic procedure, you’re choosing a team that combines cutting-edge medical technology with genuine care and compassion. Our UC Davis-educated veterinarians and experienced support staff work together to ensure every patient receives personalized attention and the safest possible anesthetic experience.
We believe that excellent veterinary care shouldn’t feel intimidating or impersonal, so we take the time to explain every aspect of your pet’s anesthetic plan, answer all your questions, and keep you informed throughout your pet’s procedure.
