CE DAYTIME SESSIONS
PORTOSYSTEMIC SHUNTS: THE TEXTBOOKS ARE WRONG Michael Willard, DVM, DACVIM 4:30 PM - 5:20 PM | Hemisfair Ballroom 2 Congenital portosystemic shunts are much more common than most clinicians realize. However, they have a wide range of presentations, and they often do not look like what the textbooks describe. Hepatic encephalopathy in particular can be very subtle. It is not at all clear that the words “portosystemic shunt” and “surgery” always go together. EMERGENCY ROOM: MY PATIENT IS HYPOTENSIVE, WHAT NEXT? Virginie Wurlod, MSs, DACVECC, DECVECC 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Hemisfair Ballroom 3 A patient presenting hypotensive is one of the most dreaded type of emergency. It represents a life-threatening situation and hypotension needs to be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further organ damage. This session will review the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with hypotension and offer a simple easily applicable approach to these patients. POLYTRAUMA: INITIAL APPROACH AND STABILIZATION Virginie Wurlod, MSs, DACVECC, DECVECC 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Hemisfair Ballroom 3 Patients presenting to an emergency service with polytrauma can be very challenging. While severe visible injuries such as degloving wounds can cause distress to practitioners, threatening internal injuries are easily overlooked, leading to more compromising conditions such as cardiopulmonary arrest. During this session, a systemic approach to polytraumatized patients will be presented, as well as initial stabilization techniques. TOXICOLOGY: REVIEW OF CURRENT METHODS OF DECONTAMINATION Virginie Wurlod, MSs, DACVECC, DECVECC 4:30 PM - 5:20 PM | Hemisfair Ballroom 3 Toxin ingestion is a very common reason for emergency visits. Due to the short window of time for common methods of decontamination, other techniques are sometimes necessary for the survival of the intoxicated pet. This session will review all current methods of decontamination and when to consider them. Methods such as induction of emesis, activated charcoal, intravenous lipid emulsions and extracorporeal treatments will be discussed.
