Main description:

Despite the fact that emergency cases are often the most unstable and require both timely and skilled intervention, until recently there has been limited formal teaching in this discipline. Although experience is of considerable importance, proper management of emergency cases depends on an understanding of fundamental principles and interventions. "Saunders Solutions for Vets: Small Animal Emergency Medicine" is unique in offering for the first time practical, realistic and expert emergency medicine tuition in flexible online format. The six-hour reprisal of core principles coupled with a selection of key case studies provides a thoroughly practical and realistic grounding in this discipline. The course conveys the fundamentals of emergency medicine and demonstrates their application to common emergency cases within the context of a non-referral environment and without presuming any significant prior knowledge of the subject. As with all our courses, interactivity, expert comment, cumulative learning and self-assessment feature prominently. A printable certificate of completion makes this method of learning particularly useful for helping meet CPD needs.
Topics covered include: MBS examination and oxygen supplementation; Hypovolaemia and dehydration; Parenteral fluid therapy; and, Analgesia. This specially priced package provides access to six emergency-medicine courses totalling 11 hours learning time. It is perfect for all first-opinion emergency and critical care practitioners, and especially general practitioners, whether experienced or inexperienced.
