Scroll down for a list of the questions. Although the meeting was for veterinary surgeons, many of the questions and answers will be of interest to veterinary nurses, and you may claim the time spent watching the film towards your CPD requirement.

It is important to ensure you are using the correct amounts of lavage solution, the correct lavage solution and are achieving a PSI (pressure) suitable to do an effective job. It's not something we are taught much about in our vet nurse training, but it is something which can make a huge difference in practice. There are loads of standard operating procedures in place in our practices, to ensure the smooth, safe and effective running of our clinics, but not many practices have a wound management SOP but this is something we should be looking to pushing forward, so everyone is doing the correct and same procedures, to maximise the wounds healing potential. We have some great webinars available on wound management. Interested?

The loops of suture material can stay in place for up to 14 days (patient tolerance and careful observation required). Image either side of tail courtesy of Hanna Callister RVN.

Moving into the patient and finding the foreign body. It took quite a few grabs with the scope grappers to get it out. The pen is there for size comparison. The barley awn stunk to high heaven. Mike J worked out it had probably been there since about august harvest time, about 3 months. The patient was an ESS, they and labs are the commonest for this type of problem. I placed some of the bits we grabbed out by the side of the main barley plug as well. Apparently the animals tolerate the putrid mess really well and apart from a slight cough do not show much else. A human with that lot in would be in a hell of a mess. The bronchiole is red and inflammed but will soon heal with a course of anti b and no irritant sitting in it.https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/001/veterinary-nurse-clinical/m/veterinary-exotics-gallery/156669Wed, 20 Feb 2019 12:05:00 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:326cca03-163a-4fd9-ba41-90152bc15908xxserahxxhttps://www.vetnurse.co.uk/001/veterinary-nurse-clinical/m/surgical-nursing/156668Wed, 20 Feb 2019 12:02:00 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:51731f83-83ac-485b-a56b-674f856e1b4bLisa MolyneauxThis 8year old cat was brought into the clinic because her owners thought she was a bit overdue with her pregnancy!!!
