Master SIRS, sepsis, MODS and septic shock
Abstract
Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), Sepsis, Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS), and Septic Shock are among the most challenging and formidable conditions faced by clinicians and veterinary nurses. These conditions are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates and require prompt recognition, treatment, monitoring, and intensive care.
In this presentation, we will unpack these diseases, identify their distinctions from one another, and discuss their clinical manifestations in dogs and cats. Delegates will gain insights into strategies and treatments, as well as the essential nursing care required to achieve successful patient outcomes.
Through practical, relatable, and clinically relevant discussions, this session will empower veterinary nurses with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively manage these critical conditions and provide nursing excellence.
