Dealing with emergency patients can be very rewarding but can also be very stressful! Often, procedures that the clinician may be unfamiliar with (or has only performed a few times) need to be carried out rapidly and under pressure if the patient is to be saved.
Day One - Emergency Surgery
This day will focus on common emergency surgical presentations. Stabilisation will be discussed, and procedures outlined, prior to an extensive hands-on practical wet-lab to get to allow delegates to put the theory into practice enabling confident management of GDV, haemoabdomen, diaphragmatic rupture, and canine urethral obstruction.
Day Two - Emergency Procedures
Day two will focus on procedures aimed at stabilisation and support of the critical patient. By discussing the rationale of these techniques and offering a chance to practise ‘hands-on’ in a wet lab situation, the course aims to provide the necessary skills to confidently carry out these procedures back into your own practice.
Digital course notes, lunch and refreshments will be provided
