Anesthesia administration — prepare and administer induction and maintenance agents to companion animals following veterinarian-approved protocols, adjusting flow rates based on monitored responses during elective surgeries.
Multi-parameter anesthesia monitoring — track heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and body temperature continuously, documenting trends and alerting the veterinarian to concerning deviations throughout surgical procedures.
Full laboratory panel execution — perform and interpret complete blood counts, serum chemistry profiles, and urinalyses independently, flagging abnormal values for veterinarian review in a general-practice setting.
Vaccine and treatment administration — prepare and administer prescribed immunizations, serums, and therapeutic medications with minimal oversight, verifying dosage calculations against patient weight in an outpatient clinic.
Controlled substance inventory management — conduct routine reconciliation of controlled drug stock, investigate discrepancies, and maintain accurate DEA-compliant log books in a licensed veterinary facility.
Advanced restraint and handling — apply chemical and physical restraint techniques for anxious, fractious, or large-breed patients, selecting appropriate methods to minimize stress and injury risk in an inpatient ward.
