Topics will include assessing and triage, stabilizing, and critical care techniques and will include detailed discussions of Fluid Therapy, Oxygen Supplementation, Pain Management, Monitoring Techniques, and Blood Gas Interpretation and CPCR. We will finish off the discussion using case studies of various emergencies and specific methods used in their care. This will be an interactive day with encouraged audience participation. Feel free to bring interesting cases with you for discussion.

This course will be of benefit to any Veterinarian or Veterinary Technician who works in an Emergency or Critical Care environment.
