For pets with a life-threatening breathing crisis, mechanical ventilation can serve as a life-saving treatment option. BluePearl Specialty and Emergency Pet Hospital’s Critical Care department is proud to offer this service to pets in need, thus upholding our mission to provide remarkable care to pets.
Mechanical ventilation provides respiratory support to animals who are unable to maintain ventilation or oxygenation on their own. It is used to manage a wide variety of conditions, including respiratory muscle weakness and paralysis, drug intoxications, certain neurological conditions, and many lung diseases such as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), congestive heart failure, and other forms of pulmonary edema.
While mechanical ventilation does not cure disease, it provides critical lung function support allowing time to treat the underlying illness. It requires intensive care and continuous monitoring.
Your emergency and critical care teams can help you decide whether this is the right treatment for your patient.
