Course Focus and Learning Objectives

VetCE on Demand: Toxicology: Initial Approach and Decontamination utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name.

Ocular lesions can be clues to underlying systemic disease. On the flip side, systemic disease can result in ophthalmic pathology ranging from incidental to vision threatening. Comprehensive physical and ophthalmic examination will lead to the most complete assessment of a patient's health. Knowledge of ocular manifestations of systemic disease will facilitate formulation of differential and definitive diagnoses as well as support patient vision and ocular health.

At the end of the course participants should be able to:

  • outline common decontamination techniques used in veterinary medicine
  • evaluate the risks and benefits associated with each decontamination technique in managing poisoned cases
  • discuss how to assess individual patient factors and toxin characteristics to determine the most appropriate decontamination strategy
