Podcasts about vet nurse

Fluid therapy is one of those things we do every single day in practice.  We hang the bag, we set the rate, we check the pump, we monitor the patient. It feels routine - maybe even safe. But the reality is this: fluids are a drug, with complications and contraindications just like any other. They are not 'just supportive care.' They are pharmacologically active solutions that can either help our patients recover, or contribute to complications if we don't use them in the right way. So in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, I'm breaking down the most recent AAHA fluid therapy guidelines - giving you all the need-to-know information so you can give great care to patients receiving IV fluids, and hopefully busting a few fluid therapy myths while we're at it. --- BRAND NEW ways to learn with me:

This week on Veterinary Ramblings, Mike Brampton and Julian Hoad are joined by Dr. Paula Boyden, newly appointed Fellow and leading voice on animal and human welfare.

Paula shares key statistics, guidance on recognising non-accidental injury, professional responsibilities around reporting concerns, and the ARD framework (Ask, Reassure, Document, Report/Refer). The episode also touches on current legislative gaps in animal cruelty laws and available training resources, before ending on a lighter note with “60 Second CPD”,  a quick lesson on taking a narrowboat through a lock. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
