About The Webinar
Neonates and pediatric patients (puppy and kittens) are often presented as emergency and it is our task as emergency clinicians, to recognize rapidly life threatening underlying problems, like hypoglycaemia and shock, so that stabilization can be promptly initiated.
What we often tend to forget, is that crucial differences exist in neonatal and pediatric patients in regards to the evaluation and interpretation of the cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological parameters, in the haematology and biochemistry parameters and drug therapy metabolism, when compared to an adult patient.
It is for this reason essential for the emergency and critical care veterinarian to recognize and be aware of these differences when dealing with neonatal or pediatric patients.
