Emergency and critical care medicine is one of the fastest growing
fields of veterinary practice. Virtually every life-threatening
disease can present for emergency evaluation, requiring knowledge
of internal medicine, neurology, cardiology, oncology, anesthesia,
and much more. Rapid and effective application of this knowledge
can mean the difference between life and death for the animal.
Critical care requires the recognition of subtle changes in the
clinical course of animals, and the ability to take corrective
action before severe systemic disease becomes irreversible.
Clinical decisions regarding seemingly small items, such as fluid
therapy, antibiotics, or analgesics, can have a profound impact on
patient outcome. This book focuses on management of the more common
emergency and critical care conditions encountered in clinical
practice, collated in a concise manual. There are chapters on
emergencies affecting each body system, on toxicology and other
environmental causes, and on critical care techniques ranging from
patient monitoring, anesthesia and analgesia to fluid therapy,
transfusion medicine and nutritional support, plus a chapter
describing clinical skills and procedures. The text is illustrated
by top-quality color photos, imaging and diagrams, and key
information is highlighted in tabular form. The authors combine
experience in teaching and in clinical practice, and provide a
ready resource for all those actively engaged in the field:
practitioners and trainees, technicians, and nurses.
