Urinary Catheter placement in male and female dogs. 

Perioperative hypothermia is a common consequence of anaesthesia and surgery and occurs in most patients undergoing anaesthesia. It can have adverse effects such as delayed anaesthetic recoveries and increased risk of postoperative wound infections. In this webinar we will look at how anaesthesia can disrupt thermoregulation and the impact hypothermia has on the body. We will also look at how we can recognise hypothermia and what techniques we can use to minimise the heat loss perioperatively.

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.
