ADVANCED MONITORING and PROCEDURES IN SMALL ANIMAL CRITICAL CARE: A Practical Veterinary Guide to Emergency Stabilization, Diagnostic Monitoring, ... Intensive Care for Dogs Cats

When a critically ill dog or cat begins to deteriorate, accurate monitoring and decisive intervention can shape every moment that follows. Veterinary professionals need more than isolated protocols-they need a clear understanding of the physiology, equipment, clinical findings, and procedural decisions behind effective emergency care.ADVANCED MONITORING AND PROCEDURES IN SMALL ANIMAL CRITICAL CARE is an extensive clinical reference for veterinarians, emergency clinicians, residents, veterinary students, and veterinary technicians working with unstable canine and feline patients. It connects physiological assessment with practical bedside procedures, helping readers interpret changes early and respond with greater clinical precision.Inside, readers will explore: - Systematic triage, primary assessment, and ICU organization- Peripheral, central, intraosseous, and arterial vascular access- Hemodynamic monitoring and fluid-responsiveness assessment- Fluid therapy, blood products, and transfusion medicine- Pulse oximetry, capnography, blood-gas analysis, and oxygen therapy- Emergency intubation and surgical airway management- Mechanical ventilation setup, waveform analysis, and weaning- ECG interpretation and emergency dysrhythmia treatment- POCUS, AFAST, TFAST, and bedside diagnostic monitoring- Thoracocentesis, chest tubes, and pericardiocentesis- Abdominal, urinary, nutritional-access, and wound-care procedures- Toxicological emergencies and antidotal therapy- RECOVER-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-arrest care- Sepsis, acute kidney injury, neurological emergencies, and pain control- Pediatric, geriatric, feline, obstetric, and end-of-life ICU careTwenty structured chapters move from foundational assessment to advanced monitoring, invasive procedures, disease-focused care, and complex patient populations. Clinical appendices provide rapid access to reference ranges, drug information, vasopressor and antidysrhythmic dosing, and CPR algorithms.Develop the knowledge needed to recognise physiological deterioration, interpret advanced monitoring data, perform critical procedures, and support safer emergency care for dogs and cats.
