Description
Early recognition of problems by owners, appropriate first aid, and timely referral by field veterinarians improve the chance of survival for horses requiring emergency management and critical care. With a view toward improving patient outcome, Equine Emergency and Critical Care Medicine is written by a team of enthusiastic equine specialists who explore a host of conditions that the equine veterinarian will encounter. Areas covered include: – Digestive, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, urogenital, and nervous systems; – neonatal diseases; – lacerations, wounds, and skin diseases requiring emergency care; – emergency ophthalmological problems; – toxicology; – antimicrobial drugs and nutritional support; – fluid, inotrope, and vasopressor therapy; – sedation and analgesia; – systemic inflammatory response; – critical care of the pregnant mare and neonate. The text features a concise, bullet-point style to facilitate quick assimilation, along with color photos and useful charts and diagrams. Equine veterinarians will find this book an essential addition to their libraries. 871 p.
