Acquire the fundamental knowledge and skills of initial patient care and the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures needed in the most common emergency situations”

In emergency medicine there is a series of understandings, procedures and techniques which are common in the majority of cases, independent of the specialty or specialties involved in each case. Across ten comprehensive modules, we will develop the fundamental concepts to help veterinarians to carry out clinical activity in emergency services. We will approach topics such as the correct triage management of patients, how to take a correct medical history, how to perform an initial examination and a detailed explanation of the most relevant techniques and tests for attending to a critical patient. Likewise, management guidelines are established to facilitate working with difficult patients. 

We will cover how to approach patients who arrive at the center with acute problems such as pneumonia or pulmonary thromboembolism, or with aggravated or complicated secondary chronic problems, such as feline patients with asthma or dogs with heart failure and respiratory complications. We will also cover procedures for caring for patients with cardiovascular problems from their arrival at the emergency department, their initial stabilization, through to complementary tests and subsequent medical treatment.
