Description

All about Shock 
A patient presents in “Shock” – what does this actually mean?  What is happening to that patient and how can we best treat this critical condition? There are 3 different types of shock - hypovolaemic, distributive and cardiogenic, this webinar will explain what these terms mean and how you can differentiate between the different forms of shock.  Is there more to treating shock than just starting fluids? We will discuss how shock is treated depending on the type of shock and why this is important. How can you tell if your patient is responding to treatment and when should you alert the veterinarian?  From a nursing perspective we will look at what we should be monitoring in patients that present in (or deteriorate and go into) shock, from initial triage to stabilisation and critical care monitoring.

The Australian Veterinary Nurse and Technician (AVNAT) Regulatory Council has allocated (1) AVNAT CPD point to this continuing education activity.
