COURSE DESCRIPTION
Nowadays most equine practices have an endoscope at their disposal, which however might not get used as much as it could. This two-day practical course was developed to provide practitioners with an update on equine endoscopy, respiratory conditions and especially with the practical skills to perform most routine diagnostic endoscopic procedures (incl. GI) currently used in equine practice. A panel of international experts who have dedicated a significant proportion of their careers to equine endoscopy and respiratory conditions are involved with this course and will be sharing invaluable tips and tricks. The first day will focus on the upper/lower respiratory tract and sinoscopy and on the second day the gastrointestinal tract (incl. the mouth) will be featured.
The following highly illustrated lectures will be held in the mornings:
- Diagnostic Nasal & Upper Respiratory Endoscopy
- Sinus Approaches & Sinoscopy
- Lower Respiratory Tract (incl. tracheal wash & bronchoalveolar lavage)
- Making Sense of Lower Airway Test Results
- Therapeutics for Lower Airway Conditions – What to do with what you see…
- The Guttural Pouches
- Overground Respiratory Endoscopy
- Oesophagus, Stomach & Duodenum
- Interactive Gastroscopy – when do you need to treat?
- Clinical Endoscopy Case-Discussions
In the afternoons, the 7 hours small group sessions (3 – 5 attendees/endoscope) will provide attendees with plenty of opportunities to further develop their hands-on skills on live horses and specimens under the supervision of the experts. Each attendee will rotate through the following practical stations:
- Upper Respiratory Tract incl. Guttural Pouches
- Lower Respiratory Tract incl. Tracheal Wash & Bronchoalveolar Lavage
- Overground Endoscopy
- Sinus Trephination & Lavage PowerPoint Case Discussions
- Oral Endoscopy
- Gastroscopy
The course fee includes lunches at a restaurant, coffee/tea breaks, a wine & cheese reception, extensive course notes and a certificate of attendance. Attendees can choose to only attend the lectures (= Lectures Only) on this course or can register for the entire course (= Lectures & Practical Sessions). Early course registration via the VetPD website is recommended as there are only a limited number of places available.
