Veterinary Apnea Monitor – Respiratory Monitoring Alarm
Veterinary Apnea Monitor – Respiratory Monitoring Alarm
The Veterinary Apnea Monitor is designed to help detect the absence or interruption of breathing in anesthetized veterinary patients. It provides an important additional layer of respiratory monitoring during surgery, dentistry, and other procedures performed under general anesthesia.
The unit connects into a compatible breathing circuit and monitors respiratory activity, helping alert veterinary staff when breathing stops or falls outside the expected pattern.

Why Use an Apnea Monitor?
Respiratory changes can occur rapidly during anesthesia. An apnea monitor provides an additional warning system to help veterinary staff recognize when spontaneous breathing has stopped, allowing earlier assessment and intervention.
It is especially useful when combined with other anesthetic monitoring equipment such as pulse oximetry, capnography, ECG, blood pressure, and temperature monitoring.
