Trauma in dogs and cats can cause a range of potentially serious conditions, from obvious injuries, such as fractures, open wounds, and external haemorrhage, to serious head trauma, internal haemorrhage, and life-threatening injuries of the chest cavity. This 4-week course will approach the trauma patient from the standpoint of emergency management. From respiratory tract trauma to management of open fractures, and a lot in-between, we’ll present the very latest in management strategies, to give your trauma patient the best chance of survival.
Injuries to the thorax and thoracic structures are very common in traumatised dogs and cats. Because of the vital importance that normal thoracic cage, pulmonary and cardiovascular systems play in the well-being of the patient, it is not surprising that thoracic trauma is a significant cause of both morbidity and mortality in the traumatised patient. This week, we’ll focus on the most common traumatic conditions of the respiratory tract – pulmonary contusions, pneumothorax, diaphragmatic hernia, and thoracic wall trauma – from pathophysiology to treatment!

Head trauma and traumatic brain injury are relatively common consequences of many types of injury in dogs and cats, including road traffic trauma, dog attacks and other accidental injury. Head trauma can be potentially devastating to an animal if it is not managed appropriately. However, with timely and appropriate management, many animals that present with severe brain injury can make good neurological recovery, and regain good quality of life. This week, we’lll review the normal physiology of the brain, the response of the brain to injury, and the latest recommendations on management of brain trauma, to give your patients the best chance of a positive outcome.

Fluid therapy forms an essential part of the management of the trauma patient- from the treatment of hypovolaemic shock, to fluid maintenance. However, fluid therapy is not without risk. This week, we’ll will focus on fluid therapy in the trauma patient, including the management of shock, and control of haemorrhage through to how to avoid fluid overload, how to detect and manage trauma-associated coagulopathy, transfusion therapy.and also how to manage the trauma patient with severe intra-cavitary haemorrhage!

This week, we’ll conclude the course with the approach to wound management in the trauma patient, along with emergency stabilisation of long bone fractures, as well as a review of the approach to stabilising the patient with urinary tract trauma, such as bladder rupture. We’ll also look at the pharmacology of the trauma patient – including analgesic techniques, and rational antibiotic choices among others.
