This webinar explains what happens in gastric dilatation volvulus (GDV) in dogs, from the large meal and swallowed air that start it to the compression of the portal vein and caudal vena cava that leads to shock. It covers the late-night phone call, the clinical signs, bloodwork and lactate, the radiographic signs, and gastric decompression by orogastric tube or trocarisation.
Presented by Gemma Abbitt at the 2025 ACVN Nurse Conference (Critical Care stream).
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.

It then works through pre-op stabilisation, anaesthetic considerations including ECG monitoring for ventricular tachycardia, and the surgery itself, from de-rotation and tissue assessment to gastropexy. It finishes with reperfusion injury and post-operative care.
