Anesthesia in the Companion Animal and the Role of the Anesthesia Technician


If your pet undergoes an invasive procedure, anesthesia is administered to reduce the animal’s discomfort and ensure a safe and comfortable outcome. At the University of Florida Veterinary Hospital, technicians work under the supervision of board-certified anesthesiologists and other board-certified clinicians. Veterinary technicians administer anesthesia to your pet and monitor the patient throughout the procedures. On this show, airing during National Veterinary Technician Month, veterinary technician Terry Torres, who specializes in anesthesia and analgesia, will explain the important role the anesthesia technician plays in veterinary medicine and the rewards the career offers to those who pursue it.
