We will briefly explore the types of emergency laparotomy cases that may be presented to your practices and how we as RVNs can make a difference to our patients by understanding the pathophysiology. We will then focus on the anaesthetic management from preparation and pre-anaesthetic exam through to the recovery period. This presentation aims to get you thinking and build your confidence in managing the anaesthesia care for these cases.
