About the Webinar

Corticosteroids have been extensively studied in the context of many diseases, with evidence supporting their use varying in quality and strength across different disease conditions. In this special focused lecture, we’ll present the latest evidence-based recommendations for the use of corticosteroids in a range of clinical conditions in both trauma and critical illness!

Learning Outcomes

At the conclusion of this lecture, the participant will have a sound understanding of:

  • The evidence for the uses and contraindications of corticosteroids in both emergency and critical illness in dogs and cats
  • Dose regimes for corticosteroids, for use when they are indicated
  • The limitations of current knowledge on the use and benefit of corticosteroids in emergency and critical illness in humans and animals
