    Study Notes

    Wound Care

    • Assessment:

      • Inspect for size, depth, and contamination.
      • Check for foreign bodies or signs of infection.

    • Cleaning:

      • Rinse with clean water or saline.
      • Avoid hydrogen peroxide or alcohol on open wounds.

    • Debridement:

      • Remove dead tissue and debris using sterile tools.

    • Closure:

      • Minor wounds may heal by primary intention (suturing).
      • Larger wounds may require secondary intention (granulation).

    • Dressing:

      • Apply a sterile, non-adherent dressing.
      • Change dressings regularly to prevent infection.

    Poisoning Treatment

    • Identification:

      • Determine the substance and amount ingested.
      • Gather information on the onset of symptoms and time of exposure.

    • Immediate Actions:

      • Do not induce vomiting without veterinary guidance.
      • Administer activated charcoal if advised (binds toxins).

    • Supportive Care:

      • Monitor vital signs: heart rate, respiration, temperature.
      • Provide IV fluids if necessary to maintain hydration.

    • Antidotes:

      • Administer specific antidotes as recommended (e.g., naloxone for opioids).

    CPR Techniques

    • Initial Assessment:

      • Check responsiveness and breathing.

    • Chest Compressions:

      • For dogs: 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths (using a mask or seal).
      • For cats: Compress with one hand at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.

    • Rescue Breaths:

      • Deliver breaths after every 30 compressions.
      • Maintain a tight seal around the mouth/nose to prevent air loss.

    • Monitoring:

      • Continuously check for signs of circulation (pulses) and breathing.

    Bandaging Methods

    • Types of Bandages:

      • Primary (directly on the wound).
      • Secondary (to hold primary in place and absorb exudate).
      • Tertiary (to protect and support the bandage).

    • Application:

      • Wrap from the distal to proximal part of the limb.
      • Use even pressure, avoiding constriction.

    • Materials:

      • Use sterile gauze, cohesive bandage, and padding materials.
      • Monitor for signs of circulation beyond the bandage (check toes for color and temperature).

    Shock Management

    • Recognition:

      • Signs: rapid heartbeat, pale gums, weak pulse, rapid breathing, lethargy.

    • Immediate Care:

      • Place the animal in a comfortable position (usually lying down).
      • Warm the animal if cold (use blankets, heating pads).

    • Fluid Therapy:

      • Administer IV fluids to restore blood volume and circulation.

    • Monitoring:

      • Keep track of vital signs and adjust treatments based on the animal's response.

    • Veterinary Consultation:

      • Prompt veterinary attention is crucial to diagnose underlying causes and provide advanced care.

    Wound Care

    • Assess wound size, depth, and any signs of contamination or foreign bodies.
    • Clean wounds gently with saline or clean water; avoid hydrogen peroxide or alcohol.
    • Debride wounds using sterile tools to remove necrotic tissue and debris.
    • Close minor wounds via primary intention (sutures); large wounds may heal by secondary intention (granulation).
    • Use sterile, non-adherent dressings and change them regularly to reduce infection risk.

    Poisoning Treatment

    • Identify the ingested substance and quantity; note onset of symptoms and exposure time.
    • Avoid inducing vomiting unless directed by a veterinarian; activated charcoal can be used if recommended.
    • Monitor vital signs, including heart rate, respiration, and temperature; IV fluids may be necessary.
    • Administer specific antidotes based on the poison, such as naloxone for opioid overdoses.

    CPR Techniques

    • Begin with an initial assessment to check for responsiveness and normal breathing.
    • Perform chest compressions: 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths for dogs; cats require one-handed compressions at 100-120 per minute.
    • Deliver rescue breaths after every 30 compressions, ensuring a tight seal to prevent air leaks.
    • Continuously monitor for signs of circulation and breathing during CPR.

    Bandaging Methods

    • Utilize three types of bandages: primary (directly on wound), secondary (holds primary and absorbs exudate), and tertiary (protects the bandage).
    • Apply bandages from distal to proximal on the limb with even pressure, avoiding constriction.
    • Use sterile materials like gauze, cohesive bandage, and padding; regularly check for circulation by assessing color and temperature of toes.

    Shock Management

    • Recognize shock symptoms: rapid heartbeat, pale gums, weak pulse, rapid breathing, and lethargy.
    • Position the animal comfortably, typically lying down, and warm them if they are cold.
    • Administer IV fluids to replenish blood volume and improve circulation.
    • Monitor vital signs closely and adjust care based on the animal's response; timely veterinary consultation is essential for advanced treatment.

    Clinic Arrival Information

    • Location details should be clearly communicated to pet owners.
    • Upon arrival, instructions may include waiting in the car and calling for assistance or bringing pets directly to the front door.
    • Designated parking areas must be identified for clients.
    • Consultation costs should be discussed up front.
    • Estimated wait times need to be provided to manage client expectations.

    Phone Advice for Common Emergencies

    • Respiratory Distress

      • Minimize handling and stress; avoid neck leads that may hinder breathing.
      • Ensure a calm and cool environment; transportation should be quick and safe.

    • Toxin Exposure

      • Never advise inducing vomiting outside of a veterinary hospital to prevent complications.
      • Assess the time of toxin exposure to guide treatment.
      • Collect product information to assist the veterinary team.

    • Seizures

      • Keep pet owners calm and instruct them to avoid touching the pet's head or mouth to prevent bites.
      • Dimming lights and providing soft bedding can reduce injuries.
      • Wrap animals in a towel or blanket during transport to protect both the pet and owner.

    Urinary System Evaluation

    Cane Toad Toxicity

    • Signs to look for include hypersalivation, foaming at the mouth, seizures, and altered mentation.
    • Common findings during the primary survey may include bright red mucous membranes and tachycardia.

    Respiratory Compromise

    • Upper airway obstruction leads to inspiratory stridor; lower airway obstruction causes expiratory stridor.
    • Signs include labored breathing, diaphragmatic expiratory push, cyanosis, and anxiety.
    • Auscultation reveals high-pitched wheezes throughout lung fields.
    • Breathing pattern often features a short, sharp inspiratory phase with prolonged exhalation.

    Pleural Space Disease

    • Patients exhibit shortness of breath with shallow breathing, leading to minimal chest movement due to pleural space restriction.
    • Abdominal component may arise, resulting in asynchronous breathing patterns.

    Combination Dyspnoea

    • Can occur at any level of the respiratory tract, indicating a blend of inspiratory and expiratory dyspnoea.
    • May follow incidents of trauma (e.g., lung contusions) or conditions like pneumonia post-drowning or paralysis tick.

    Active Heating/Cooling

    Active Heating

    • Use of Bair Hugger, heat mats, warmed IV fluids, and blankets to prevent hypothermia.
    • Caution needed with heat mats to avoid burns; a barrier (towel/blanket) should be used between the mat and patient.

    Active Cooling

    • Implement water baths (not cold) and fans to manage hyperthermia.

    Analgesia

    • Provide appropriate pain relief for patients in distress.

    Toxin Decontamination
