- Monitoring and maintaining patients under general anesthesia, with or without mechanical ventilation, for varied risk levels.
- Advanced vascular access techniques, including jugular catheter placement and arterial catheterization.
- Advanced diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasonography and paracentesis.
- Participation in developing treatment, anesthetic, and nursing care plans.
- Executing treatments using clinical decision-making skills in accordance with established protocols.
- Assisting in managing patient care workloads to ensure uncompromised care.
- Coaching and guiding veterinary assistants and nurses in clinical tasks to uphold care standards and promote growth.
