ADVANCING THE SCIENCE OF VETERINARY ANESTHESIA 🫁

A huge shoutout to Drs. Shawn and Li, our dedicated AKVH anesthesiologists, who recently traveled to Bangkok, Thailand for an advanced training workshop on Mechanical Ventilation in Anesthesia.

Ventilation is a critical component of general anesthesia.
It supports the patient’s breathing while under anesthesia and plays an essential role in maintaining appropriate levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the body-with important implications for cerebral blood flow, cardiovascular function, and the health of vital organs.

Understanding the physiology behind ventilation and mastering its application allows our anesthesiology team to make more informed, patient-specific decisions during anesthesia—particularly in complex and critically ill patients.

Our sincere thanks to Mindray Animal Medical and Mindvet Academy for the opportunity to participate in this excellent workshop, led by Dr. Khursheed Mama of Colorado State University and Dr. Tang Na of China Agricultural University.

To our anesthesiology team: thank you for continually pushing the boundaries of what we can provide for our patients.

Because at AKVH, advanced veterinary care isn’t simply about having advanced equipment.

It is about having the knowledge, expertise, and commitment to use it well.

Learn more. Train harder. Think deeper.
Raise the standard. 🐾

Is this trachea normal?
No, it’s not.
There is contrast fluid entering the trachea when the patient drinks water.
This is caused by a defect in the closure of the epiglottis during the swallowing reflex.
The aspirated fluid caused persistent cough and recurring pneumonia.
It is important to find the root cause of recurring problems in our patients and institute long term management.
Sometimes it’s difficult. Sometimes it’s complicated.
But at AKVH, we do our best to find disease causation instead of being satisfied with treating symptoms.

We can’t always make “socmed content.”

Because sometimes, we’re just too busy saving lives.

As a referral facility, we are occupied with untangling complicated cases, making critical decisions, and doing everything we can to give our patients another chance.

We forget to take the “before and after” photos—not because the results don’t matter, but because the treatment and seeing our patients get better matter more.

And sometimes, we simply don’t have the time to document every success. Our hands are busy caring, our minds are busy thinking, and our hearts are focused on the patient in front of us.

So if you don’t see us posting every case, every procedure, or every success story…

Just know that behind the quiet social media feed, there’s a lot of work happening.

Less content.
More care.
More lives helped. ❤️🐾

AKVH accepts second opinion consults and referral cases.

There is one thing that separates a doctor from a great doctor: having a strong list of differential diagnoses.

A differential diagnosis is a list of possible diseases that could explain a patient’s clinical signs and symptoms. It is the foundation of good clinical reasoning.

At AKVH, our doctors don’t jump to conclusions or rely on what’s simply familiar or comfortable. Instead, our Internal Medicine Team takes a problem-based, evidence-based approach to every case. By developing appropriate differentials, we can perform focused diagnostics, avoid unnecessary or blanket testing, and ensure that every treatment plan matches the patient’s unique clinical picture.

This approach leads to better decisions, more accurate diagnoses, and ultimately, better patient outcomes.

Internal Medicine is where our doctors sharpen their diagnostic thinking. It is the training ground where they spend 1–2 years mastering the art and science of clinical reasoning before pursuing their chosen specialties and advancing to even higher levels of mind bending skills and expertise.

At AKVH, we believe that great medicine starts with asking the right questions before looking for the right answers.

That’s the AKVH way. 💪

What do AKVH vet techs do?
Most certainly not scrubbing kennels or washing dishes.
Their job is not merely drawing blood or pushing buttons in the laboratory.
The AKVH Vet Techs are in a league of their own.
They perform the most vital of tasks in the care and management of patients. Their work complements the work of our licensed vets.
AKVH Vet Techs are adept at unblocking urinary obstructions in dogs and cats, putting in nasogastric tubes, endotracheal tubes. They do laser therapy, physical therapy. They are amazing at achieving diagnostic quality radiographs with correct positioning and collimation. They assist during soft tissue/ orthopedic surgeries, endoscopic and fluoroscopic procedures.
CPR in emergency situations- this team knows what to do.
And yes, they even know ultrasonography. Doppler? M mode? Yes, they know how to do those and interpret them too.
So you see, the AKVH vet techs are indispensable to the hospital setting.
Next time you see the AKVH vet techs walking around the hospital, give them a good job thumbs up 👍😊

The real heroes in the AKVH Operating Room- the AKVH Anesthesia Team.
Dr. Shawn has trained in Anesthesia and Analgesia for Healthy and Compromised patients at University of Sydney. While Dr. Li has sharpened his skills, especially in artificial respiratory ventilation with Mindvet Academy in Thailand.

Contrary to what many think, anesthesia is not a “one size fits all” procedure. It does not only involve monitoring anesthesia depth but tidal volume, ECG, mean arterial pressure, end tide CO2 and other parameters to keep the patient safe while he is asleep. It should not be performed by a non licensed vet.

The AKVH Anesthesia team rules our operating room. They have the power to clear a patient for surgery, postpone his procedure or cancel it altogether.

While the surgeon’s role can become routine, the anesthesiologist job is never the same. Each patient is different, requiring different anesthesia regimens and drug cocktails. He keeps a close watch over vital signs and essentially, keeps the patient alive. It’s a tough job- especially when it involves brachyceohic breeds, senior pets or those with heart or renal disease.

Next time your pet has surgery, make sure to thank the anesthesiologist as well. Their job is harder than that of the surgeon 🌶️🔥
