Would your analyser lie to you.....Getting the most from your inhouse laboratory

Would your analyser lie to you.....Getting the most from your inhouse laboratory
Would your analyser lie to you.....Getting the most from your inhouse laboratory

As veterinary nurses we run blood samples on a daily basis and the results generated have a direct impact on our patient's outcome. However, how do you know these results are real? Could you spot a real result from random error? Are the numbers generated by your haematology analyser a genuine reflection of the patient's status or is the analyser miscounting cells? 
The webinar is aimed at veterinary nurses who run samples at the practice laboratory and those who have an interest in the practice laboratory. It will also benefit student nurses who are looking to learn more around the subject.

Learning outcomes:

1. Know how standard biochemistry and haematology analysers work.
2. Understand how sample handling is key to accurate results 
3. Understand the common artefactual changes see in blood results.
4. Understand common problems with haematology results are how to overcome them.

This will be a fun and informative webinar, championing us all to put a little faith in our analysers

Help, my patient has arrested! An introduction to CPR (for Nurses)
In this webinar we will review the RECOVER ( Reassessment Campaign on Veterinary Resuscitation) guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. In practice CPR is fortunately not often required but when it does occur it can be a stressful event for everyone involved. The aim of this seminar is to leave you feeling more confident when dealing with a situation when your patient has arrested. For the scope of this seminar we will focus on Basic Life Support. Advanced Life Support falls out of the scope of this webinar but will be briefly discussed. You will learn how to recognize and assess cardiopulmonary arrest and how to respond to this appropriately. The principles of Basic Life Support will be covered step by step, both in a single rescue situation and a team situation. This includes chest compressions and discussing chest compression points in different breeds and species, intubation and ventilation. These guidelines will help you deal with any CPR code in your practice.

Physiology of the Gastrointestinal System (for Nurses)
This webinar covers the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and how application of this knowledge relates to disease, nutrition and nursing care. We discuss how treatments, including nutrition, relate to the physiology and the importance of this underpinning knowledge. We discuss how different nutrients in the diet effect the functioning of the gastrointestinal system. Nicola Ackerman relates the content of the webinar to a more Emergency Critical Care setting, for those animals that are presented with gastrointestinal issues, including pancreatitis, vomiting and diarrhoea, gastric dilations.
