TAVM Hospital Personnel Series - Infectious Diseases

Wednesday, April 13, 2016
07:30 PM - 10:00 PM

Dave & Busters, 120 Interchange Way, Vaughan Speaker: Scott Weese, DVM, DVSc, Diplomate ACVIM OVC University of Guelph

What's new in multidrug resistant bacteria? While statements about the ‘end of the antibiotic era’ are overly sensational, it is undeniable that antimicrobial resistance poses tremendous challenges to veterinary and human medicine. This presentation will outline important multidrug resistant pathogens, with an emphasis on the practical measures that are needed in veterinary hospitals for management of infections, care of patients and prevention of zoonotic disease.

Case studies in zoonotic diseases: Clients often have questions about zoonotic diseases and knowing how to respond to questions that arise following diagnoses or general client counseling is important. This presentation will use a series of cases to outline important aspects in zoonotic diseases.

Prevention of surgical site infections: While surgical site infections tend to be uncommon, they can be highly problematic, resulting in patient morbidity (and even mortality), client frustration, costs, clinician frustration and negative perceptions of a hospital. Prevention of all surgical site infections is not realistic but measures can (and must) be taken to reduce the risk of infection. This presentation will outline important measures to reduce the risk of infections while maintaining an efficient clinic.
