Description
The aim of this volume is to provide practical, cutting-edge updates in small animal emergency medicine. This volume is designed to be a thorough -- but practical -- approach for veterinary emergency practitioners. This edition is a general review of new, clinically relevant "hot topics" of emergency and critical care. Topics include a global and organ-based approach to the emergent patient, including monitoring of the emergent patient and management of respiratory, cardiac, urinary tract, endocrine, and neurologic emergencies. As emergency clinicians are commonly presented with poisoning cases, one article is dedicated to emergency management and treatment of the poisoned patient. Key diagnostic updates in emergency medicine, including the use of the FAST and TFAST ultrasound, are reviewed. Images and photographs were included to help the practitioner feel comfortable with this rapid, inexpensive, diagnostic tool. Included in this latest version are focuses on treatment, including fluid therapy, transfusion medicine, surgical considerations, and analgesia and anesthesia of the emergent patient. Although less commonly performed in the emergency room (as compared to the ICU), the approach to basics of mechanical ventilation was also discussed. Last, the RECOVER project was reviewed in the CPR article and reiterated the importance of a "team approach" to veterinary medicine.
