Peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains a viable treatment for patients with acute renal failure, particularly in the face of oliguria or anuria when renal recovery is deemed possible. This presentation will focus on the indications for initiating peritoneal dialysis (PD), and the practical application of providing peritoneal dialysis in hospital. Veterinary clinics have many of the supplies necessary to provide PD to patients. This lecture will focus on the equipment and supplies needed for PD, as well as catheter selection and placement. A procedural overview will follow including how to initiate dialysis, how to alter the prescription and clinical expectations. A review of monitoring for the dialysis patient as well as potential complications will follow. The presentation will address the support staff necessary and time commitment involved. Participants should understand the principles of PD, and have an understanding of how to perform dialysis on completion of the lecture.

Before any treatment is attempted, a patient with an oral tumor needs to be properly staged – we need to know, what the tumor is, how extensive it is and if malignant, if there is any metastatic disease. A webinar with Ana Nemec.

This lecture with Dr. Brenda Mulherin  is designed as a dental potpourri of different topics that are commonly misdiagnosed or referred for treatment.
