Product catalog summary
Introduction to PTA Technology
The PTA (Parasympathetic Tone Activity) monitor is a noninvasive device designed for veterinarians to measure the parasympathetic tone in animals using ECG. It aims to improve surgical outcomes by providing a continuous and reliable measure of the animal's autonomic nervous system, particularly during surgery.

Specifications and Functionality
The PTA monitor evaluates the parasympathetic tone of the autonomic nervous system, offering a value between 0 and 100. A higher PTA value indicates greater comfort for the animal. This technology is applicable to horses, dogs, and cats, and is based on heart rate variability analysis.

Advantages Over Traditional Methods
Traditional behavioral rating scales are subjective and can be influenced by clinical context. PTA technology provides an objective measure, allowing for better management of analgesia and improved recovery post-surgery. It helps veterinarians assess nociception response and adjust analgesic treatment accordingly.

Research and Validation
Studies have shown that a PTA value below 48 increases the probability of a hemodynamic response. The technology has been validated in various studies, demonstrating its ability to detect comfort levels and optimize analgesic drug delivery.

Clinical Applications
PTA technology can be used to monitor animal comfort post-surgery and anticipate analgesia needs. It is particularly useful in titrating opioids to avoid under or overdosing. The device is seen as a significant advancement in detecting nociception and ensuring adequate analgesic coverage.

Testimonials
Veterinary professionals have endorsed the PTA monitor for its ability to refine treatment protocols and improve pain management strategies. It is considered a novel approach that enhances the detection of nociception and anticipates analgesic needs.

Manufacturer Information
The PTA Monitor is manufactured by MDoloris Medical Systems, based in France. The company provides contact information and emphasizes that the PTA Monitor name and logo are registered trademarks.

The FIRST parasympathetic tone monitoring DEVICE in the WORLD for PETS. PTA Following the results of the ANI technology (Analgesia Nociception Index) on the monitoring of non-communicating patients, the algorithm was adapted to develop the PTA. PTA technology offers the evaluation of the parasympathetic tone of the autonomic nervous system of animals. The purpose of PTA (Parasympathetic Tone Activity) technology is to provide veterinarians a noninvasive, easy to use monitoring MDoloris developed a simple to use, non-operator dependent, system which offers a continuous and reliable measure of...

The main benefits of using PTA technology The PTA technology can be used to monitor animal comfort at the end of the surgery and anticipate analgesia needs. The assessment of pain in animals is not easy and animals are often a given a standard dose of analgesics. This is not appropriate treatment and should ideally be avoided. Titrate opioids to avoid infra and overdosing Leitao et al showed that PTA is better able to detect stimulation than HR, is able to clearly recognize the analgesic level between treatments, and may be used to optimize analgesic drug delivery in animals.

Testimonials In my opinion, the inclusion of PTA in the monitoring protocol allows us to refine the treatment in something as complicated as nociception, thinking not only intraoperatively but also in postoperative pain. Miguel Angel Cabezas Head of the Anesthesia at Hospital Veterinario Puchol, Madrid Currently, method for nociception (intraoperative ‘pain’) is based on simple but basic responses, such as sudden increases in heart and respiratory rates or blood pressure. These responses imply that we are late in providing a good pain reliever and stability plan for our patients. The PTA monitor...
