Twist and Shout! How to manage a GDV without freaking out.
Gastric dilation-volvulus (GDV) cases are some of the toughest emergencies to manage – they arrive severely unwell, and stabilising and treating them promptly is critical to maximise their chance of survival. But with a solid understanding of how GDV impacts our patient (and the most important considerations when stabilising, treating and managing them) we can go from feeling chaotic to confident when caring for them as veterinary nurses. In this session, we’ll discuss the pathophysiology of GDV, the impact it has on our patient, and why time really is of the essence when caring for them. We’ll look at the common triage findings and the stabilisation steps these patients need, and our role as veterinary nurses – before, during and after surgery. You’ll leave the session feeling more confident about nursing these patients, aware of the common complications, and with the practical skills to give them even better care.
