Regional and Intravenous use of Local Anesthetics : CE for Veterinary Technicians

This is part 2 of a topic that was first presented on June 27, 2012.

In our last session we learned that local anesthetic drugs are extremely effective, inexpensive and easy to use and we discussed some of the most commonly used local anesthetic blocks. In this session we will continue to explore the use of local blocks and will expand into regional blocks like epidurals and brachial plexus blocks. We will also discuss the use of other drugs in local and regional blocks and discuss the use of lidocaine intravenously. This webinar will be presented by a veterinarian and a veterinary technician who will describe and demonstrate some of the more commonly used blocks in small animal practice. The goal is to increase the comfort level of both veterinarians and veterinary technicians with the use of local anesthetic blockade.

Webinar by Dr William Dernell

Advanced and severe disease pathology affecting the extremities in small animals often brings the veterinary clinician to the point of considering limb amputation for either cure or palliation.  Because amputation is often a difficult decision for animal owners and because, in some cases, other circumstances result in amputation being contraindicated, knowledge of limb salvage options is important for therapy recommendations and decisions.  This presentation will discuss the indications for, applications of and potential complications of recent advances in limb salvage techniques for veterinary patients.  Although many practicing veterinarians may not perform these more advanced treatments directly, knowledge of their potential application and the important aspects of follow up care can greatly benefit their patients and clients.

Tuesday, March 13, 2012, 6 PM (Pacific Time) By Web Conference: Breaking the Silence: Disclosing Medical Errors by Dr Kelly Farnsworth

There has been increasing public awareness of patient safety in healthcare and attention on a disturbing rise in medical errors. Research has shown that the majority of malpractice litigation in human medicine is related to poor communication between the patient and the physician. The importance of having open and frank discussions when medical errors occur has been highlighted by several professional organizations and institutions and published in the scientific and news media. This webinar will enable veterinarians to identify, appreciate and practice using a model and techniques essential in responding to clients constructively when there has been an adverse outcome due to error. http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/ce/webinars/errors.aspx
