Description
Nursing respiratory patients can often be very difficult, with the animals requiring careful nursing to avoid their deterioration.

We will look at preparing for and dealing with the emergency respiratory patient. It will also look at when and how to intervene, and the equipment we are likely to require. The tutorial will cover oxygen supplementation methods, intubation, tracheostomy and chest drain placement and nursing care.
