This session will be a case-based workshop. Principles of blood gas interpretation will be reviewed at the beginning of the session. Cases from different veterinary species will then be presented for participants to interpret. Results will then be discussed and used to highlight the similarities in interpretation across species.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to correctly classify acid-base abnormalities as respiratory, metabolic, or mixed acid-base disturbances.
Upon completion, participants will be able determine the cause of a metabolic acid-base disturbance using additional diagnostic testing results.
Upon completion, participants will be able to provide examples of disease processes typically associated with acid-base abnormalities across veterinary species.
