Do you ever debate if you can safely give a patient IV fluids or when you should stop giving IV fluid boluses? Have you ever felt frustrated not finding a cause for patients presenting for “ain’t doing right” with no specific clinical signs? Veterinary point-of-care ultrasound (VPOCUS) can help you manage these patients! VPOCUS techniques are rapid, easy-to-learn and practical ultrasound skills that ANY practitioner can apply in every day practice. VPOCUS is commonly used as a patientside diagnostic tool to rapidly identify underlying conditions and help direct further diagnostics and therapy. VPOCUS has a high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of abdominal effusions; other abdominal applications; and several thoracic, vascular and cardiac pathologies. Through four hours of comprehensive and interactive lectures with several case examples followed by a three-and-a-half hour, hands-on laboratory on live animals, participants will have the opportunity to learn and practice the skills of VPOCUS.
