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.

This lecture will outline up to date evidence-based information and provide practical application of wound management techniques in hard to heal wounds. Recognition of when things are not proceeding as planned is vital, and therefore early application of changes to wound management to improve outcomes is important. There are also new products being brought to market with new wound management techniques promoted and this can add to the confusion on what to select and when; so this lecture will break this down in to easier to digest information that is applicable to both simple and advanced wounds.
