Written down step by step
We develop each standard into a procedure with a step-by-step view and a view by team role.
No procedure under general anaesthesia takes place without prior assessment: a clinical examination, blood analysis and a risk evaluation on the ASA scale. The anaesthetic plan is chosen individually, not “as standard for the species”.
Procedure WET-ANES-01: Pre-anaesthetic assessment11 steps · step-by-step view and view by role · example recordRelated services: Routine visit and clinical examination · Parasite prevention (worming, ticks, fleas) · Preventive check-up for seniors (geriatric package) · Preparing the patient for a procedure
Vital parameters (oxygen saturation, capnography, ECG, blood pressure, temperature) are monitored by a dedicated person throughout the procedure and recovery. The record goes into the patient's medical records.
Procedure WET-ANES-02: Intra-operative monitoringworkflow with a monitoring loop · table of parameters and thresholdsRelated services: Preparing the patient for a procedure · Diagnosis of digestive system diseases · Diagnosis of respiratory diseases · Dog castration
Before an operation begins, the team goes through a checklist modelled on human surgery: patient identity, side of the procedure, equipment, drugs, a plan for complications. A routine that eliminates “obvious” errors.
Procedure WET-CHIR-03: Procedure checklistSign in · Time out · Sign out · what to do when something does not matchRelated services: Dog castration · Cat neutering · Spaying a bitch (ovariohysterectomy) · Cat spaying
We assess pain using structured scales and treat it in advance, combining several mechanisms of action. The patient's comfort is a clinical parameter, not a courtesy.
Procedure WET-ANLG-04: Pain management (multimodal)pain assessment · recommended scales · management in 10 stepsTwo operating theatres with separate purposes, airlocks, instrument sterilisation with biological and chemical monitoring, and an audited flow of materials, all following fixed, written procedures.
Procedure WET-ASEP-05: Sterility protocolzones and flow of materials · workflow in 10 stepsRelated services: Preparing the patient for a procedure · Diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases (parvovirus, FIP, babesiosis, Lyme disease) · Dog castration · Cat neutering
Every patient has a digital record: results, recommendations, a record of decisions. Handover between veterinarians and between shifts is structured, so clinical information is not lost “along the way”.
Procedure WET-DOC-06: Medical records and handover of carestructure of the records · workflow in 10 steps · SBAR formA standard that cannot be maintained for every patient is not a standard.
We update the protocols on the basis of guidelines from professional societies and a review of our own cases.
