CE Daytime Sessions
companion animal FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 _____________________________________________________ AFAST AND THE ABDOMINAL FLUID SCORING SYSTEM FOR THE BLEEDING PATIENT FOR DECISION-MAKING Greg Lisciandro, DVM, Dipl. ACVECC 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM I 214 A We will cover the basics of the 5-point AFAST exam, the advantage of AFAST over abdominal radiographic serosal detail, and the use of the AFAST-applied fluid scoring system for the bleeding patient. Bleeding subsets include blunt and penetrating trauma, non-trauma (collapse, weakness), and post-interventional cases (post-op, post-percutaneous procedures). The lecture is practical and heavily case-based and will cover updates from the AFAST fluid scoring clinical study published by Lisciandro et al. in JVECC in 2009. THE GALLBLADDER HALO SIGN IS MORE THAN ANAPHYLAXIS & A CANINE HEMOABDOMEN COMPLICATION THAT YOUMUST KNOW Greg Lisciandro, DVM, Dipl. ACVECC 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM I 214 A Gallbladder wall edema, referred to as the gallbladder halo sign, is a marker for canine anaphylaxis. However, the gallbladder wall halo sign is not pathognomonic and other conditions that can cause a gallbladder halo sign are possible in similarly presenting (collapsed, weak) dogs, including pericardial effusion and right-sided heart failure and generalized systolic cardiac dysfunction (dilated cardiomyopathy). Satisfaction of search error must be avoided in order to make a correct diagnosis and using a Global FAST approach prevents this mistake by evaluating the heart (TFAST) and abdomen (AFAST) and lung (Vet BLUE). The lecture is practical and case-based and based on published research by the author. TFAST FOR THE ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS OF PLEURAL AND PERICARDIAL EFFUSION AND CASED-BASED APPLICATIONS Greg Lisciandro, DVM, Dipl. ACVECC 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM I 214 A We will cover the basics of the 5-point TFAST exam and how to accurately sonographically diagnose pleural and pericardial effusion without mistaking heart chambers for either. The lecture is practical and heavily case-based. We will discuss TFAST conditions missed by thoracic radiography. Lecture is based off the clinical study published by Lisciandro JVECC 2016. VET BLUE LUNG ULTRASOUND: A TRULY COLOSSAL CHANGE FOR RESPIRATORY DISTRESS AND EVALUATION Greg Lisciandro, DVM, Dipl. ACVECC 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM I 214 A We will discuss the history of lung ultrasound and its evolution over the past 28 years, how to performVet BLUE, simple lung ultrasound artifacts of wet versus dry lung, Vet BLUE lung ultrasound signs of consolidation (shred sign, tissue sign, nodule sign, wedge sign), and the concepts regarding the Vet BLUE pattern-based approach. The lecture is practical and heavily case-based and based off several clinical studies published by the author. CLINICALLY RELEVANT ANTIMICROBIAL STEWARDSHIP J. Scott Weese, DVM, DVSc, DipACVIM 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM I HEMISFAIR BALLROOM 2 Antimicrobial stewardship is getting increasing attention because of the scourge of antimicrobial resistance. Often, people envision antimicrobial stewardship as an academic topic, one that focuses on restriction of antimicrobial access and/or something that does not apply to clinical practice. However, done right, antimicrobial stewardship programs should help clinicians optimize the use of antimicrobials for maximum clinical effect while minimizing adverse effects on patients and public health. This presentation will outline concepts of antimicrobial stewardship, including topics such as drug selection, antimicrobial susceptibility result interpretation, drug categorization, surveillance and client communications.
CANINE INFLUENZA J. Scott Weese, DVM, DVSc, DipACVIM 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM I HEMISFAIR BALLROOM 2 H3N2 canine influenza was introduced to the U.S in 2015 fromAsia, and it continues to cause problems. This canine-adapted influenza virus can cause substantial morbidity, and some mortality, particularly in high- density populations. This presentation will outline important factors related to the introduction and spread of canine influenza, discuss case management, outline important clinic infection control tools and assess the role of vaccination. 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM I HEMISFAIR BALLROOM 2 Antimicrobial resistance is an important problem in veterinary (and human) medicine and multidrug-resistant pathogens are causing increasing problems. This presentation will highlight important clinical aspects for management of resistant infections, with particular emphasis on multidrug-resistant staphylococci and 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM I HEMISFAIR BALLROOM 2 Urinary tract infections are commonly encountered in small animals and the approach to these has evolved over recent years. This presentation will outline new ISCAID guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of bacterial cystitis, subclinical bacteriuria and pyelonephritis. DIAGNOSIS OF CANINE HYPERADRENOCORTICISM (CUSHING'S SYNDROME): NAVIGATING TEST CHOICE AND INTERPRETATION Catharine Scott-Moncrieff, Vet MB, MA, MS 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM I HEMISFAIR BALLROOM 3 This lecture will focus on choosing the right patients to test, appropriate test choice for the individual patient, and understanding test interpretation. The lecture will also address differentiation between pituitary dependent disease and functional adrenal tumors and how to approach the patient in which testing is negative or equivocal. FELINE DIABETES MELLITUS: ESSENTIAL FACTS FOR OUTSTANDING CASE MANAGEMENT Catharine Scott-Moncrieff, Vet MB, MA, MS 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM I HEMISFAIR BALLROOM 3 This lecture will address pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of diabetes mellitus in cats with an emphasis on the most important knowledge necessary for practical case management. Topics will include type 1 and type 2 diabetes, reasons for progression of pancreatic failure, stress hyperglycemia, glucose toxicity, and diabetic remission. Different approaches to diabetic monitoring will also be addressed. TREATMENT OF CANINE HYPERADRENOCORTICISM: EVERY CASE IS UNIQUE! Catharine Scott-Moncrieff, Vet MB, MA, MS 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM I HEMISFAIR BALLROOM 3 This talk will focus on current recommendations for treatment and monitoring of canine hyperadrenocorticism. The lecture will focus on choosing the appropriate treatment options for each case and individualizing treatment monitoring. UNUSUAL AND UNDER-DIAGNOSED FELINE ENDOCRINOPATHIES Catharine Scott-Moncrieff, Vet MB, MA, MS 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM I HEMISFAIR BALLROOM 3 Cats have a different spectrum of endocrine disorders than dogs and the clinical presentations can be unique. This lecture will focus on unusual and under-diagnosed feline endocrinopathies such as acromegaly, hyperadrenocorticism, and hyperaldosteronism. The lecture will provide guidance on the diagnostic approach and treatment of these disorders. FELINE HOUSE SOILING Lore Haug, DVM, MS, DACVB, CABC 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM I 214 D House soiling in cats is still one of the most common problems cat owners discuss with veterinarians.
