Overview:

This webinar aims to equip veterinarians with the knowledge and skills to manage dyspneic emergencies in both cats and dogs effectively. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology and common causes of dyspnea in dogs and cats. The session will cover essential steps for the initial assessment and stabilization of dyspneic patients, including physical examination and basic supportive tests. Mastery of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) techniques will be emphasized for rapid assessment of dyspneic animals, focusing on lung ultrasound, heart evaluation, and pleural effusion identification. Advanced diagnostic techniques and therapeutic interventions, such as thoracocentesis, oxygen therapy, and medical management, will be explored. Case-based discussions will help apply the knowledge gained, enhancing participants’ ability to diagnose and treat dyspneic emergencies effectively.
