The ICU chart can be used for emergency cases that require more frequent monitoring than every hour. Track vital signs every few minutes and record as you go along. This chart has been set up for tick paralysis cases, ventilation cases, and many more. Once the patient is stable, move them to a hospital chart and set up hourly-based tasks.
The digital ICU monitoring chart can be launched from your practice management system (PMS).
From within your PMS, click on the VetCheck icon
Navigate to the "VET FORMS"
Locate and select the “general anesthesia monitoring chart”
Your information will automatically be tracked within the chart.
