What you'll learn

This exciting course has been written specifically for veterinary technicians and nurses – and will cover the fundamentals of how to effectively provide nutritional support to the dog or cat with emergency illness. We’ll also present many of the recent advances in our understanding of optimal nutritional support in critically ill patients – all presented in a user-friendly, unbiased format, so that you get the information you need to know about in order to provide the best care and advice for small animals in your practice!
We begin with a discussion of what happens to a healthy patient that is fasting – and then look at what happens to an animal that is fasting when they are sick and unwell, to determine just how urgent early nutritional support is in these patients. We’ll also take a look at specific nutritional requirements of emergency and critically ill patients – and why they are different from healthy patients.
This tutorial will focus on feeding the patient – from feeding tube placement, care and complications, to how to provide nutritional support to your patient. We’ll also introduce the concept of micro-enteral nutrition, and how it can improve tolerance of critical care nutrition, when feeding begins, and will conclude with details on how to introduce complex nutrition to your emergency patient.
This tutorial will focus on the specifics of providing nutritional support to the emergency patient with specific disease – including kidney disease, trauma, gastrointestinal dysfunction, diabetes among others. We’ll conclude with a section specifically dealing with the complications of nutritional support- including re-feeding syndrome, gastrointestinal upset, anaemia and more.
