About the Webinar

The use of transfusion therapy in emergency and critical patients has been extensively studied – but there is still controversy regarding the optimum use of transfusion products, such as plasma and albumin, in a range of clinical diseases. We examine the latest literature to bring you current understanding of the use of blood products across a wide range of diseases in both dogs and cats, to identify those that improve outcome, so that you can make the best decisions for the benefit of your patient!

Learning Outcomes

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

  • The current understanding of the use of plasma, albumin and whole blood in the treatment of various disease conditions in the dog and cat, including lung disease, traumatic brain injury, trauma-induced coagulopathy, acute trauma-associated haemorrhage, DIC, sepsis and critical illness
  • The limitations of our knowledge into the value of transfusion therapy in a number of disease conditions in the emergency and critical patient.
