The Dark Side of Fluid Therapy EmergencyLIVE!

The Dark Side of Fluid Therapy EmergencyLIVE!

Fluids may seem like a benign, everyday treatment — but without a clear plan, they can significantly impact coagulation, cardiovascular stability, organ function, and ultimately, patient survival. 

 

Fluid therapy has played its part in pushing patients into congestive heart failure, causing organ dysfunction through generalized oedema, and contributed to the riddle of the lethal triad. This presentation with Dr Courtney Reddrop will debunk ‘shock rates’, make you think thrice about keeping patients in hospital for 48 hours on twice maintenance for a toxicity, and provide a plan on reassessing patients following formulating a rehydration plan.

What is an EmergencyLIVE!?

Whether you’re ECC-curious or find the thought of an emergency overwhelming, this brand-new EmergencyLive! webinar series is designed to help general practitioners build confidence and sharpen their skills in managing small animal emergencies.

Led by experienced Emergency and Critical Care veterinarians, each webinar focuses on practical, life-saving techniques—from patient triage and early case management to staying current with gold standard protocols, including the RECOVER resuscitation guidelines.

With short, focused sessions and plenty of time for Q&A, you’ll walk away with tools you can apply in practice the very next day.

The Dark Side of Fluid Therapy EmergencyLIVE!

Fluid Therapy
The fluids we give our patients can be considered a benign substance and something we often take for granted. However, when given to a patient without a plan, it can have severe consequences on coagulation, cardiovascular system, organ function and a patient’s overall survival. Fluid therapy has played its part in pushing patients into congestive heart failure, causing organ dysfunction through generalized oedema, and contributed to the riddle of the lethal triad. This presentation with Dr Courtney Reddrop will debunk ‘shock rates’, make you think thrice about keeping patients in hospital for 48 hours on twice maintenance for a toxicity, and provide a plan on reassessing patients following formulating a rehydration plan.
