This webinar will start with a review of the pathophysiology underlying primary and secondary traumatic brain injury. It will then focus on the clinically relevant diagnostics and treatments for small animal patients with traumatic brain injury, incorporating evidence from veterinary and human medical literature.

This webinar will focus on biochemistry and electrolyte analysis, with particular emphasis on interpretation in the Emergency and Critical Care setting. This webinar will be a clinical pathology focussed session, and will discuss the diagnosis, rather than the treatment of diseases. Aspects that will be discussed include the following: - The benefits and disadvantages of running an in-house serum biochemistry and electrolyte panel in the ECC setting - What tests make up a biochemistry and electrolyte panel, and the most common causes that lead to increases or decreases in these results - A basic overview of how we interpret patient results - What factors may affect results and why

Diagnostic should not kill the patient, but it is necessary to examine an emergency accurate. Radiography, ultrasound and CT techniques will be discussed.
