Join Drs. Amy Kaplan, Amie Koenig, and Justine Lee as we explore acid-base topics. Understanding these disturbances is crucial in emergency medicine, critical care, anesthesia, internal medicine, and surgery. In this 7-hour, CE-accredited VETgirl master class, we provide a practical, step-by-step approach to interpreting arterial and venous blood gases. Through real-life cases, we address metabolic and respiratory acidosis/alkalosis, mixed disorders, clinical clues, management strategies, fluid therapy, and more. This course is perfect for veterinarians aiming to enhance their diagnostic skills and clinical decision-making.
In this 7-hour, CE-accredited VETgirl master class, Dr. Sarah Beatty, DACVP and Dr. Holly Brown, PhD, DACVPwill give YOU the tools to take your cytology skills from uncertain to unstoppable with a deep dive into sample collection, preparation, and interpretation across a wide range of fluids and tissues. From FNA technique to in-house slide review, you’ll learn how to spot patterns, avoid pitfalls, and make faster, more accurate diagnoses. Please bring your own laptop or tablet for learning purposes.
