Transfusion Medicine – not just for the faint hearted (for Nurses)

We give blood products on an increasingly frequency in veterinary medicine, but how much do we really know about the product we are giving, the indications for each product and possible sequelae to this administration of foreign products? Blood and blood products are foreign to our patients, and each time we give them we have to weigh up the risks vs the benefits to our patients. We also need to be aware of what can go wrong in the short term and long term in order to ensure the best possible outcome for our patients. This webinar will go through the common types of transfusions given, why they are given, essential monitoring, and things we should be aware of ongoing in our patients. This webinar is for those who are interested in ensuring that their patients get the best outcome in hospital.

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