Course description:
Ever struggle with diagnosing the cause of dyspnea in a cat that is too unstable to take radiographs (asthma vs pleural effusion vs heart disease)? Ever debate if you can safely give a patient IV fluids or when you should stop giving fluid boluses? Or why a patient presents for 'just not himself'?Veterinary point of care ultrasound (POCUS) can help you manage these patients. Veterinary POCUS techniques are rapid, easy to learn, practical skills that ANY practitioner can apply in everyday practice. You will learn techniques that will help you with diagnostic and treatment decisions on a daily basis going far beyond the emergency room.
This training session is designed to increase your knowledge and skill in point of care ultrasound techniques. The lecture, given by Dr. Søren Boysen and Dr. Serge Chalhoub, will be pre-recorded and available on demand.
Dr. Boysen and Dr. Chalhoub will be discussing principles of POCUS, areas of application and practical tips. The hands-on lab will be delivered in person by a team of experienced facilitators.
Learning Objectives:
•Perform abdominal, pleural, lung, cardiac and vascular POCUS
•Recognize various abdominal, thoracic and cardiovascular pathologies
•Improve your diagnostic skills and clinical decision making

Serge Chalhoub, DVM, DACVIM
Serge is a strong advocate of veterinary POCUS, having been converted from the "darkside" of only scanning the abdomens of internal medicine cases.

He continues to actively deliver VPOCUS training workshops across the globe and and is an award winning teacher.
