Diabetes & DKA Demystified: Critical Care Through a Nursing Lens
(Con impuestos)
Diabetes mellitus and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) are common yet complex conditions encountered in veterinary practice. This webinar is designed to help veterinary nurses confidently understand and manage these challenging cases through a practical, nursing-centered approach.
This session will review the pathophysiology of diabetes and DKA with direct application to patient care, emphasizing early recognition, interpretation of laboratory data, and the rationale behind treatment decisions. Attendees will explore the veterinary nurse’s critical role in monitoring blood glucose, administering insulin, managing fluid therapy, and identifying potential complications such as hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalances.
Through case-based discussion and real-world nursing pearls, this webinar aims to demystify endocrine critical care and empower veterinary nurses to play an active, confident role in improving outcomes for diabetic and DKA patients.
