Acquire the necessary skills to act as an expert in Hematological, Oncological, Metabolic and Toxicological Emergencies in Small Animals, with the mastery of the latest techniques and advances in this intervention"

In emergency medicine there is a series of understandings, procedures and techniques which are common in the majority of cases, independent of the specialty or specialties involved in each case. 

Many clinicians are not comfortable with patients with a hematologic or oncologic emergency because they are unfamiliar with these pathologies or with the treatments many of these patients are receiving. 

In these patients, laboratory tests, such as hemogram and cytology, play a fundamental role in the diagnosis and monitoring of the patient. The interpretation of a cytology requires not only theoretical knowledge but also a lot of experience.

Another frequent situation in the emergency department in small animal medicine is decompensated diabetic patients and addisonian crisis, the latter being underdiagnosed. In both cases, laboratory tests are fundamental in the diagnosis and control of the patient's evolution.

With regard to toxicological emergencies, a review is made of the most common emergencies in emergency departments, including pesticides, drugs for human and/or veterinary use, plants, insects and ophidian bites, among others. 

In the patient with a toxicological emergency, a correct anamnesis is essential, as well as a diligent initial care based on the data obtained and the general examination, which may lead to the performance of gastric lavage or bathing or washing of the patient's body surface. All this, in order to reduce the absorption of the toxins involved while the clinician can stabilize the patient and perform the appropriate tests to determine the origin of the poisoning, the severity of the picture and the most appropriate treatment. 

Thus, the care of a patient with these types of problems will be addressed, from the arrival at the emergency department, their initial stabilization, as well as the anamnesis, examination, complementary tests and medical treatment. 
In short, we offer you a complete tour of all the areas of knowledge you need to provide quality emergency care.
