Geriatric pets may have decreased organ function, cardiovascular issues, or other chronic conditions that can complicate anesthesia. The V5 anesthesia machine, with its advanced monitoring capabilities, allows veterinarians to closely monitor vital signs and adjust anesthetic delivery to ensure patient safety.
