Zennovation in Sedation: Rethinking What is Possible and Maximizing Topical Therapy #24090
Speaker:
Gregory Long, DVM
Zennovation in Sedation: Rethinking What is Possible
In this educational presentation, we will introduce the concept of procedural sedation in veterinary practice. This includes a review of the basic physiology behind sedation in dogs, commonly-used sedatives, and the use of a reversal agent. Lastly, we will discuss a novel sedative, a combination of the alpha-2-agonist, medetomidine, with the peripheral alpha-2 antagonist, vatinoxan – and how it can improve your clinical practice.
Maximizing Topical Therapy
With dermatologic conditions making up a large volume of the caseload in companion animal medicine and with antimicrobial resistance on the rise, topical therapies need to play a bigger role in dermatologic therapy. This presentation will discuss why topical therapies are helpful and how cytology helps guide topical product choice. The most common active ingredients in topical products for companion animals will be highlighted including their mechanism of action and suggested use. By having a complete understanding of active ingredients, veterinarians will be better equipped to make a topical product selection. Compliance strategies will be discussed to help ensure that what a veterinarian prescribes actually gets used.

Todays PSA: Procedural Sedation and Analgesia for the Vet Tech #24019
Speaker:
Katrina Lafferty, BFA, RLAT, CVT, VTS (Anesthesia/Analgesia)
The reasons to sedate our veterinary patients are many. Sedation allows for less stressful handling, positioning, and diagnostic collection for both the patient and veterinary staff. Radiographs, biopsies, IV catheter placement, and potentially even physical exam, nail trimming, ear cleaning and other maintenance procedures can be achieved with more accuracy and safety, and believe it or not, more quickly with appropriate sedation. No one drug possesses every desired quality (reliable sedation, good analgesia, reversibility, minimal side effects) so it is necessary to have a good understanding of many options and combinations so you can choose the right fit for the right situation. A sedation protocol should consider patient personality, comorbities, procedure, and preferred recovery time. The specific drugs and amounts used will depend on several factors. The anesthetist creating the plan will have to evaluate the temperament of the patient, the type of procedure being performed, and the coexisting conditions or contraindications each patient may have.
