Brachycephalic & BOAS Workshop
Brachycephalic patients are fun, but they can also be demanding, anxious, high risk and high maintenance. Yet, if the whole veterinary care team is on the same page, your chances of success are magnified and the experience is more manageable for everyone.
In this weekend workshop, vets focus on surgical techniques to manage Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome. This is not a watch-and-learn workshop. This is a perform-it-yourself-and-learn workshop which has evolved from our previous Fix the Face workshop.
Nurses and technicians have their own CE stream with extensive practical sessions on brachycephalic intubation, anaesthesia, surgery, recovery and postoperative care.
Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome in clinical practice
Surgical procedures for BOAS
Brachy-safe anaesthesia & analgesia
Gastrointestinal complications associated with BOAS
Stress reduction through holistic patient care
- Case presentations & clinical discussion
Your practical skills take priority
A VetPrac workshop will always put hands-on skills first. Veterinarians at our Brachycephalic & BOAS workshop practice a range of surgical techniques under the leadership of veterinary surgical specialists. Nurses and technicians practice airway examinations, intubation, and simulated anaesthesia monitoring with tailored brachy-safe techniques. When we say hands-on, we mean it.
