The first part of this two-part series looks at anaesthesia for gastric dilation volvulus (GDV) and shock. For GDV it covers what happens to the stomach and the rest of the body, diagnosis and decompression, stabilisation before anaesthesia, and the anaesthetic risks of arrhythmias, electrolyte imbalances, hypotension and hypoventilation. It then works through drug choices, fluid therapy and IV access, gastropexy techniques, monitoring for complications such as SIRS and DIC, and recovery, including early nutrition.
Presented by Nicola Wilkinson at the 2023 ACVN Nurse Conference.
Includes the full recording (54 minutes), the presentation slides as a PDF, and a quiz. Pass the quiz to receive a certificate worth 1 AVNAT point.
