The significance of establishing intensive care unit wards for pets

With the rapid development of the pet market, the development direction of pet diagnosis and treatment will eventually be consistent with that of human hospitals. More and more pet hospitals will establish animal intensive care units to provide the most advanced veterinary treatment methods for sick animals and provide more care for patients and pet owners.

As far as the development of animal ICU at this stage is concerned, its concept is still somewhat different from that of ICU in human hospitals. At present, the animal ICU often mentioned in pet clinics often refers to animal care warehouses. Animal care warehouses are designed to provide a better care environment for sick animals to speed up their recovery. Its most basic function is to provide a stable temperature and humidity environment to improve the comfort of animals, while supporting medical conditions such as infusion and atomization treatment for sick animals. In addition, the care warehouse should be easy to disinfect and convenient for health management, while a higher configuration care warehouse can also provide oxygen therapy for animals and have the ability to monitor and discharge CO2 concentration in the warehouse.

Why do veterinary clinics need animal care warehouses? In fact, animals have the same basic needs as humans. When they are in poor overall condition, they need more care and care. A safe and comfortable medical environment can help animals recover faster and better. For example, newborn dogs and cats born by caesarean section do not have the ability to regulate their body temperature and cannot control their body temperature. Low body temperature will significantly increase the mortality rate. At this time, if the newborn animals are placed in a ward to provide a warm and comfortable environment, the survival rate can be greatly improved.
