Course outline
As if neurology was not intimidating enough! Now you have an emergency neurological case to deal with and a good outcome for the patient depends entirely on you making the right decisions. Help is at hand; this module is designed to guide you step by step from the admission of an acute neurological patient, to coming up with a rational diagnostic plan and concluding with the most effective therapeutic options for each of your emergency cases.
If you don’t have time to do a complete neurological examination or you are unsure how to interpret all of those tests, then this module will provide you with the essential practical aspects of the neurological evaluation and how to use them in your emergency patients, all illustrated by video.
Specific areas to be covered include:
• The acutely paralysed dog - where to start?
• Investigation of spinal cord disease; can you cope or should you consider referral?
• Overview of common acute spinal cord diseases
• When dogs suddenly get weak
• When seizures are out of control
• Video tour of acute encephalic syndrome
