Description
A concise, accessible guide to clinical decision making in veterinary emergency medicine focused on the thought process in selecting diagnostic and treatment optionsPractical Approach to the Small Animal Emergency Patient helps veterinarians identify the critical questions to identify diagnostic and therapeutic priorities when faced with an emergency situation. The book reviews important decision points for common emergencies and emphasizes how to think, not just what to do. The first section of the book covers general principles of emergency medicine topics such as triage, sedation and lab work selection, while the latter part of the book applies those principles to common emergency presentations. The intention of this book is not to provide the clinician with an exhaustive review of pathophysiology, but uses current research and decision making tools to provide the clinician with the questions and tools to decide whether a certain intervention is appropriate. Each chapter also includes a section on client communication to help guide new clinicians in speaking with family members about diagnostic testing, treatment approaches, and prognosis. Written by a board-certified criticalist and practicing veterinarian in emergency medicine, Practical Approach to the Small Animal Emergency Patient includes information on: Fluid therapy, covering fluid requirements, fluid selection, patients with heart murmurs, and correcting electrolyte abnormalitiesSedation and analgesia, covering appropriate use and risks of inadequate or inappropriate sedationDiabetic emergencies including diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome, and hypoglycemiaTreatment for car accidents, penetrating trauma, and dog bite woundsGastrointestinal distress, covering surgical versus non- surgical causes, the need for imaging, and difference between inpatient and outpatient assessmentPractical Approach to the Small Animal Emergency Patient is an essential guide for clinicians, particularly new graduates and emergency doctors, seeking to gain confidence and improve their decision-making in emergency situations.
