BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
A COMPLETE KIT FOR ASSESSING THE PATIENT’S
BLOOD PRESSURE AND MONITORING HYPERTENSION
UNI & DUO
PATIENT MONITORING UNDER ANAESTHESIA
A SOUND APPROACH TO QUALITY CARE!™
Companion Animal Care
The Vettex® Uni and Duo have been developed
specifically for the veterinary market. The Doppler
Ultrasound Range can be used to provide a variety
of information in monitoring companion animals.
Blood pressure measurement is crucial in delivering
accurate drug therapy to counteract Hypertension in
cats with CRI. The Vettex Uni and Duo can be used
to determine the systolic value of blood pressure in
companion animals.
The complete kit allows the veterinarian to:
• measure the systolic pressure
• listen to the blood flow/cardiac sounds
• assess the patient for the possible affects of Iliac
Thromboembolism.
Allow the patient to settle down in the examination room
Reasons why you should seriously consider measuring the blood pressure in companion animals.
It can act as a screening procedure to detect and
manage hypertension. Early detection of
Hypertension and related conditions
(i.e. CRI, Hyperthyroidism) can improve outcomes
• Place cuff above the vessel to be measured
• Place gel over digital
for the patient. There is a justification for all cats
above eight years old to have their blood pressure
measured. It can help to reduce referrals of patients,
thus keeping profit in-house.
• Place gel onto probe
artery – the vessel to be
measured
Taking blood pressure measurement is a straight
forward process. It can be done in a relatively
short period of time by the Vet or Vet Nurse.
Patients are conscious and the procedure is noninvasive and painless. The result can be repeated
to ensure consistent readings of systolic values,
before any therapy is administered.
• Inflate cuff with sphyg and
slowly release until pulse
sound is heard. This is the
systolic blood pressure.

quality care™
• Inflate sphyg until pulse
ceases

Patient Monitoring Under Anaesthesia
The Vettex® Duo is another innovative product developed by Huntleigh
Diagnostics. It combines bi-directional doppler technology with a
non-stop switch-off facility in one hand held unit, providing a system
for patient monitoring when using anaesthesia in a surgical context.
The use of anaesthetic alters the physiological parameters in patients.
It is the duty of the Veterinarian to monitor both the administration of
the anaesthetic and to support the patient’s well being during any surgical situation.
“It therefore follows that monitoring vital functions and
drug effects is of utmost importance” (Jones 1996):
Jones Jana L. “Noninvasive Monitoring Techniques in Anesthetized
Animals” Veterinary Medicine pp326-336 April 1996.
Vettex® Applications Include:
• Regular blood pressure measurements taken systemically throughout the duration of the surgical procedure, can assist in the monitoring of the patient’s vital signs.
(NB taken when a baseline blood pressure can be obtained).
• Pulse Sound Tracking (PST). This is performed when the flat VT
8MHz probe is attached to the Vettex® Duo. The probe is located
over an artery on the patient (using ultrasound gel and surgical
tape). The Pulsatile Doppler audio signal produced by system will
output from the loudspeaker until the unit is switched off. This regular pulse sound give an added benefit to the veterinarian, as it provides a complimentary audio monitoring system to sit alongside the
current range of patient monitors.
