Anesthetic drugs must be delivered at the appropriate dose and route of administration to produce the expected anesthetic effects. This is important for patient safety because anesthetic drugs function by depressing the central nervous and cardiovascular systems, which if improperly dosed or administered could cause potentially life-threatening effects. Several routes of administration and different drug delivery methods are available to safely and reliably anesthetize zoologic companion animal patients. Because of the nature of zoologic companion animal practice, anesthetic procedures pose risks that the anesthetist should understand to carefully plan procedures that are as safe and efficient as possible.
麻醉药物必须以适当的剂量和给药途径给予，以产生预期的麻醉效果。这对患者安全很重要，因为麻醉药物通过抑制中枢神经系统和心血管系统起作用，如果剂量或给药不当，可能会产生危及生命的影响。有几种给药途径和不同的药物输送方法可用于安全可靠地麻醉动物伴侣动物患者。由于动物伴侣动物实践的性质，麻醉程序带来了麻醉师应该理解的风险，以便仔细计划尽可能安全和有效的程序。
