Presented by: Tamara Grubb DVM, PhD, Diplomate ACVAA

Appropriate pre-anesthetic patient preparation prior to the administration of any anesthetic drugs is critical for anesthetic safety. Preparation includes evaluation of general and specific diagnostic test results, especially in patients with comorbidities like diabetes and renal disease. In this case-based session we will discuss crucial diagnostic testing and, based on the test results, will develop stabilization plans and anesthetic protocols for safe anesthesia in every practice.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session the attendee will:

1. Understand the critical importance of patient preparation as a component of safe anesthesia.
2. Utilize appropriate diagnostic testing and physiologic support to optimize patient anesthetic safety.
3. Develop specific anesthetic/analgesic protocols based on diagnostic testing and patient health status for patients with renal disease.
4. Develop specific anesthetic/analgesic protocols based on diagnostic testing and patient health status for patients with diabetes.

*Live session is RACE approved for 1 hour of CE
