eBook: Treating Toxicities in Today’s Veterinary Practice – Expanded Options for Effective Poisoning Management
Download this free eBook now and learn how a novel technology is providing more options for treating severely poisoned patients.
From ibuprofen to fluorouracil, there are unlimited ways for poisoning to occur in pets. The standard of care for severe poisoning primarily relies on symptom management and supportive care, with many cases resulting in long-term organ dysfunction or euthanasia. Extracorporeal treatments (whether performed in-house or by referral) work by directly removing toxins from circulation to reverse overdose and prevent organ injury, often resulting in better outcomes – for the patient, client and practice.
In this eBook, we will explore 3 different types of extracorporeal treatments and considerations for use.
Included in this eBook:
- ASPCA Poisoning Control Center data on the most common toxicities
- Discussion of standard of care compared to extracorporeal therapies for toxicity treatment
- Comparison of hemodialysis, therapeutic plasma exchange, and hemoperfusion and practical considerations for use
