What is the petMAP?
A. petMAP is a new class of oscillometric Blood Pressure (BP) device with multiple missions for the vet hospital. We think the petMAP missions include anesthesia, since it works very well there, but it is especially helpful for routine BP measurement of awake animals for the diagnosis of hypertension and for following up on its treatment. This can be done in the exam room or perhaps even in the waiting room with the owner holding/calming the animal, or in the animals carrier without the animals knowledge (“stealth BP”, watch the video here). Thus petMAPs portability, ease of use, and accuracy in awake dogs/cats is adding a dimension to BP measurement not easily achieved previously with Doppler and the larger oscillometric devices.
