Small talk and jibber jabber about small animal (canine, feline) Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (ECC). Hosted by ECC specialist Shailen Jasani, Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical care, episodes cover a variety of topics relating to ECC including literature references and evidence-based medicine considerations. So join us for some ECC small talk, why don't you?
In this episode I am joined by my friends and colleagues, Stacey Davidson and Ru Clements of VetLed (https://www.vetled.co.uk/), to discuss the role of Quality Improvement (QI) in improving patient care.
We discuss what QI is and why you should be engaged with it. We also talk about the role of human factors and workplace culture in QI.
A description of many of the terms used in the episode can be found at the website here.
Apologies for the sometimes crackly sound quality on this episode.

Sepsis and the Glycocalyx
This episode is focused on sepsis. I also talk about the relevance of the glycocalyx. And emphasise how much extrapolation there is from human medicine to veterinary practice.
Topics covered include:
Long-standing sepsis definitions and recently suggested updates
History of sepsis management in human medicine; including early-goal directed therapy and Surviving Sepsis Campaign
Recent large scale human trials: ProCESS (USA), ARISE (Australasia), ProMISe (UK)
Key steps for managing the septic veterinary patient
The glycocalyx: what it is, what it does, why it is relevant, implications for practice

[*International Society of Feline Medicine]
Evidence base behind the Guidelines
Secondary versus primary hypertension
Target organ damage
Monitoring and Underdiagnosis
Which cats to monitor blood pressure in
Importance of ensuring blood pressure is measured as accurately as possible with a reproducible technique
White coat hypertension
Defining normal blood pressure
Criteria for therapeutic intervention and appropriate therapeutic targets
What treatment to use
Emergency treatment
The episode is based on:
ISFM Consensus Guidelines on the Diagnosis and Management of Hypertension in Cats. J Fel Med Surg 2017. 19:288–303.
