Veterinary surgery records: consent, anaesthesia log and statuses

VetBis plans the surgery, takes the consent form, keeps an anaesthesia log and moves the record through PreOp, In progress, PostOp and Completed. Recovery continues in hospitalization, consents work with forms and printing, and the record links to the exam.

Preparation and the consent form

Consent is tied to the surgery record. The consent form is not only for surgery; it works across seven consent types in VetBis.

Anaesthesia record: protocol, duration and vital log

The anaesthesia record is kept apart from the surgery record and is tied to the anaesthetist. It is a log; it does not replace a live monitor.
