Sodium Disorders Disorders of sodium balance can present significant therapeutic challenges in the emergency setting. Both hypo- and hypernatremia can lead to life-threatening neurological signs, and safe correction requires the understanding of pathophysiological processes associated with sodium disorders. In this case-based webinar we will discuss how to interpret clinical and laboratory parameters in order to […]
Head Trauma In this case-based webinar we will revisit the pathophysiology of head trauma and outline a structured approach to the neurologic patient in the emergency setting. We will discuss how to perform an effective initial assessment, including neurological examination and monitoring parameters, and which diagnostic tools are most useful in the acute phase. Special […]
Stranguria Stranguria is a common but potentially life-threatening emergency presentation in cats. The emergency clinician must quickly determine whether the patient is obstructed, stabilize the patient appropriately, and decide on the best method of relieving the obstruction while managing pain and stress. In this case-based webinar we will discuss emergency stabilization, including fluid therapy, analgesia, […]
Fluid Therapy in Anuric/Polyuric Patients Managing fluid therapy in anuric or oliguric patients poses a unique challenge. While fluids are often the cornerstone of stabilization, inappropriate administration in these patients can quickly worsen their condition and lead to life-threatening complications. The emergency clinician must therefore balance the need for circulatory support with the risk of […]
Bleeding Acute bleeding disorders in small animals can arise from trauma, hyperfibrinolysis, or underlying coagulation abnormalities, and they often present as life-threatening emergencies. The emergency clinician must be able to rapidly identify the underlying cause, stabilize the patient, and determine the most effective therapeutic strategy under time-critical conditions. In this case-based webinar we will revisit […]
Neuro-muscular Ischemia Neuromuscular ischemia is a rare but serious complication in small animal patients, often resulting from prolonged pressure, vascular compromise, or underlying systemic disease. Prompt recognition and intervention are critical, as delayed treatment can lead to permanent neuromuscular deficits. In this case-based webinar we will revisit the pathophysiology of neuromuscular ischemia, with a focus […]
