Choosing a multiparameter monitor requires considering species range (e.g., $\text{HR}>300\text{ bpm}$ for exotics), portability/battery, and required parameters (e.g., $\text{Sidestream Capnography}$ with low $\text{sampling rate}$ for small patients, $\text{IBP}$ for equines). Human monitors often have unsuitable $\text{HR}$ limits and $\text{capnography}$ rates for small/exotic veterinary patients.

Purchasing a ventilator requires assessing patient needs, staff training, and the ventilator type. $\text{IPPV}$ is used for hypercapnia (ETCO₂​>60 mmHg) or hypoxaemia (SpO₂​<90%). $\text{Mechanical ventilation}$ is safer than $\text{manual}$ for long procedures. Staff competency in ventilation and $\text{capnography}$ concepts is crucial before purchase.
