Pre-op bloods give the vet a clearer picture of the patient before any anaesthetic drugs are given. Michele El Bayeh explains what pre-op bloods are, what they test for, and why they matter for every surgical patient, young or old.
Includes the full recording (34 minutes), the presentation slides as a PDF, and a quiz. Pass the quiz to receive a certificate worth 1 AVNAT point.
When a client asks whether pre-op bloods are really needed, this webinar helps you give a clear, confident answer.
You’ll learn what pre-op blood tests are and why they are run before surgery: the liver and kidneys metabolise anaesthetic drugs, the results can show dehydration or anaemia, and they give a baseline for the future and guide aftercare. You’ll cover the common in-house biochemistry parameters for liver function, renal function and proteins, plus glucose, calcium and phosphate, and what haematology and the WBC dot plot show.
You’ll then work through common abnormalities, including diabetes, Cushing’s disease, anaemia, dehydration, hyperthyroidism, renal disease and liver disease. The webinar finishes with why life stage matters and why pre-op bloods are worthwhile in young, healthy patients as well as older ones.
