The new provision in the above listed regulation that specifically prohibits a veterinarian from delegating anesthetic monitoring of an intubated patient to an unlicensed, trained assistant concerns me. The proposed change will have a negative consequences on the quality, availability and cost of veterinary car in Virginia, due to gthe severe shortage of LVTs in the state. The LVT program does not grandfather in some very experienced and well trained veterinary nurses working in many and our practice.
