Small Animal Bronchoscopy and Rigid Endoscopy
Course Overview:
This one-day course will be a case based course. We will deliver the content through lectures including images and videos to allow delegates to understand the application and the clinical rationale of the use of bronchoscopy and rigid endoscopy in small animals as an aid to work up clinical medical cases.
Topics Covered:
- How to approach bronchoscopy – what clinical presentations or cases would benefit from bronchoscopy and when it would be useful – when to scope and when not to?
- How to practically carry out the procedure in both cats and dogs
- What equipment you need
- How to do a proper BAL in both cats and dogs? What samples you need and how to get them?
- How to investigate nasal disease in both dogs and cats and the role of rhinoscopy – optimising case selection and understanding the limitations of each of the available techniques.
- How to perform cystoscopy with both rigid and flexible equipment – practical step by step guides on how to actually carry out the procedure? When and how to take biopsies?
- Case-based discussions – reviewing and discussing interesting cases where endoscopy has been useful in influencing the outcome.
