Course Summary
Head trauma can be a daunting emergency to be faced with, however being prepared for the patient’s arrival and the monitoring required and knowing exactly what the clinical signs mean can make these cases extremely rewarding for the veterinary nurse. This 30 minute eCPD tutorial aims to give the veterinary nurse confidence for triaging and caring for these patients, including performing the modified Glasgow Coma Scale.
