Join Us for Immersive Learning at the NAVC Institute 2016 and Learn More about Emergency & Critical Care

Dive deep into emergency and critical care principles and topics and see these principles in action at the NAVC Institute 2016 course: Emergency & Critical Care: Helping You Keep Your Cool in the ER.

In this course, you’ll learn all you need to know about topics related to emergency and critical care (ECC). This four-day intensive course will be a practical approach to the stressful, fast-paced field of ECC and will help improve your knowledge and skills in this area. This course will benefit veterinarians who are transitioning to emergency medicine or even for the more experienced emergency veterinarian who needs a review of common case management, emergency procedures, diagnostic testing and general overview of the emergent or critically ill patient. The small group environment will allow for an intimate setting to practice a hands-on approach to ECC.

Topics that will be covered include: fluid therapy, acid-base balance, trauma, respiratory disease, acute abdomen, coagulopathies, anesthesia and analgesia, toxicology, CPR updates, nutrition, blood pressure monitoring and endocrine emergencies.
