The Conundrum of Implementation – From Evidence Based Research to Clinical Practice
Course Details
This lecture has been RACE approved for 1.0 CE hour for veterinarians and veterinary technicians.
Program Description:
On average it takes 17 years for researched information to make its way to a clinical practice setting. This course will begin with a brief discussion on implementation research to explain why this lag time exists and leads into a discussion of recent research papers in veterinary anesthesia and analgesia.
A panel of 3 experts will explain how they look at a research paper to determine the clinical relevance and how that information can be implemented into clinical practice. Topics that will be discussed include anesthesia safety and medical errors, a fresh look at buprenorphine and the role it has during an opioid shortage and a novel route of administration for drugs at the acupuncture site GV 20.
Agenda:
- Implementation Science
- Safety and Medial Errors in Veterinary Anesthesia
- Beauty of Buprenorphine and the role it is playing in the face of another opioid shortage
- Novel route of administration – GV 20 acupuncture site
Learning Objectives:
- Understand physiologic and pharmacologic changes of different, and commonly used drugs during anesthesia and analgesia of small animals.
- Allow for decisions to be made based on knowledge and evidence.
