A veterinary breathing bag is a core functional component of any inhalation anesthesia system used in animal medical procedures. The primary purpose of this breathing bag is to act as a compliant gas reservoir that stores oxygen and anesthetic agents during the interval between patient exhalation and the next inhalation. This reservoir function allows the anesthetist to observe real‑time respiratory patterns and, when needed, deliver intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) by manually compressing the breathing bag.

A vet handheld monitor is a portable, battery‑powered device designed to measure and display essential physiological parameters in animals during veterinary care. Unlike bulky stationary monitors, this compact instrument allows clinicians to obtain real‑time readings of oxygen saturation (SpO₂), non‑invasive blood pressure (NIBP), and body temperature (TEMP) directly at the point of examination. The primary purpose of a vet handheld monitor is to enable rapid triage and continuous observation without moving the patient to a dedicated monitoring station.
