What you'll learn

We’ll update how to develop an effective fluid therapy plan, review the use of synthetic colloids and blood products in various disease states, and use case examples to illustrate fluid therapy plans in patients with GDV, head trauma, parvovirus enteritis, heart disease, pneumonia and more!
This week, we’ll review the use of crystalloids, colloids and blood products in the small animal patient, using the most recent published literature available to help us arrive at a formula for developing a safe and effective fluid therapy plan for our patients. We’ll look at evidence behind transfusion triggers, the safety and efficacy of synthetic colloids, and whether we should use them or not, and look at why we should avoid excessive fluid rates in our patients.
This week, we’ll take our learning from week 1, and apply it to real-life cases – including fluid therapy for lung disease, severe gastrointestinal disease, traumatic brain injury, sepsis and much more – all with the aim of providing safe and effective fluid therapy to our patients, whilst minimising adverse side effects.
