Programme

Session 1:

General Approach to the Emergency Patient and Practical OOH Survival Tips

Emergency medicine is built on a foundation of core principles and requires a different philosophy and approach to elective practice. The first session in this Mini Series will begin with an overview of the general approach to the emergency patient. But wait…surviving Out-of-Hours (OOH) is not just about the medical and surgical challenges! There are a host of practical things to consider as well and we will look at some of these in the second half of this session.

What you’ll learn:

  • General approach to the emergency patient
  • Triage, major body systems (primary survey), analgesia, secondary survey, POCUS
  • Strategic tips and practical considerations about things such as sleep, diet and delegation all provided by your peers!
Session 2:

Top Priorities in All Emergency Patients: Shock, Fluid Therapy and Analgesia

Many patients that present as OOH emergencies have perfusion deficits and may be in shock. Hypovolaemia is the most common cause of shock in dogs and cats and can be rapidly fatal if left untreated. Dehydration is also common in veterinary patients but is less urgent and assessed and treated differently. This session will explain the differences between hypovolaemia and dehydration before going on to look at how both problems are treated with fluid therapy using a different protocol and approach. Many OOH patients present in pain and a significant number then go on to undergo painful procedures. The session will end with a summary of analgesia in the emergency patient.

What you’ll learn:

  • Clinical differences between shock and hypovolaemia versus dehydration
  • The fluid plan: which fluid(s) and how to use them for reperfusion versus rehydration
  • Key considerations for rational analgesia in the emergency patient
Session 3:

Some Common OOH Presentations

In this final session we will look at some of the most common presentations that you may be faced with OOH and discuss a rational approach to them.

What you’ll learn:

  • The collapsed dog: rational approach and some common differentials (e.g. haemoabdomen, cardiac disease)
  • Rational approach to the blunt trauma cat including thoracic and brain injury
  • Approach to neuromuscular intoxication including intravenous lipid emulsion
