A complete and comprehensive update in Neurology, Ophthalmology and Extended Therapeutic Protocols in Equine Ambulatory Practice with the most complete and effective preparatory program in the online training market"

This course will review the most important aspects of neurological and ophthalmological pathologies.

The acute onset of many of the neurological conditions requires decisions to be made in a short time. Therefore, it is necessary to master the neurological examination to extract as much information as possible from our patient and work on the basis of the clinical pictures and their differential diagnoses to effectively deal with these processes in the field.

Sedation and anesthesia in the field is a common clinical practice that requires a certain degree of specialization in order to be able to adapt it to the patient being treated at any given moment. The chapter will provide the clinician with the necessary technical skills to be able to induce, maintain and reverse anesthesia in the field from beginning to end, ensuring the lowest possible risks for the patient and guaranteeing the smooth running of the surgical procedure.

On the other hand, topics specific to hospital intensive care units will be addressed, such as pain management, correction of hydro-electrolyte and acid-base balance, intensive care in neonates and adults, with the aim of providing the student with the necessary skills to enable him/her to treat a patient with ICU requirements while outside a hospital setting.
