The objectives of monitoring are to gain much information as possible about the anesthetized horse and to follow changes in that information, with the ultimate aim of making anesthesia and surgery as safe as possible for the horse. Information necessary to achieve that aim will vary depending on patient category. For example, a young, healthy horse undergoing a short elective procedure can be clinically well monitored by patient signs, electrocardiogram, and indirect blood pressure response. More invasive monitoring is justified and warranted if the health status of the horse is in question. The degree of invasion will be determined by the information needed to provide optimal support. The constantly changing picture should be recorded. The anesthetist who defines anesthesia as long stretches of boredom interspersed with moments of sheer panic is surely guilty of failure to heed warning signs that were present, had he looked for them.
监测的目的是获取尽可能多的关于麻醉马匹的信息，并跟踪这些信息的变化，最终目标是使马匹的麻醉和手术尽可能安全。实现该目标所需的信息会因患者类别而异。例如，一匹年轻、健康且接受短期择期手术的马，可以通过患者体征、心电图和间接血压反应进行良好的临床监测。如果马匹的健康状况存疑，那么更具侵入性的监测是合理且必要的。侵入程度将由提供最佳支持所需的信息来决定。应记录不断变化的情况。如果麻醉师将麻醉定义为长时间的无聊并穿插着纯粹恐慌的时刻，那么他肯定是有罪的，因为如果他去寻找的话，就会注意到那些已经存在的警示信号。
