The day begins with lectures offering a practical approach to equine blood transfusion in the field, along with strategies for stabilising critically ill patients prior to transport and case-based sessions discussing approaches to complex cases in the field.
The hands-on practical component in the afternoon will focus on developing a systematic approach to ultrasound examination of the acute abdomen and thorax. Delegates will also perform an emergency tracheostomy on a cadaver, gaining valuable experience in life-saving procedures. Following the practical sessions, a panel discussion will explore disaster management and some controversial aspects of what is possible and appropriate to do in the field. The course will conclude with an interactive discussion on controversial aspects of field care, encouraging a pragmatic and thoughtful approach to equine emergency decision-making.
This course is on our programme because it's a great learning opportunity, but BEVA doesn't run it. For registration, payments or terms and conditions, please get in touch with the event organiser directly.
