    146 Leadership

    Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are delighted to have Dr Clive Elwood with us. Clive, an RVC alumnus (his PhD and Masters in Immunology), spent 20 years in private referral practice, where he was Managing Director. He now runs his own coaching business. He decided to write the book that he wished existed on veterinary leadership, and we thought that it would be a good idea to chat to him about his take on leadership in the veterinary profession. We hope that you enjoy.

    145 RECOVER update 2024 CPR guidelines

    Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are overwhelmed to be in the company of the magnificent, internationally renowned Professor Dan Fletcher, from the College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University. Dr Fletcher with his co-chairs Dr Boller, Dr Burkitt and Program Director Ken Yagi have collated the evidence to provide the veterinary community with evidence-based guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in dogs and cats. The original guidelines came out in 2012, and the scope of this initiative is wide and their coverage immense. Ploughing back proceeds into educational development tools, in-person training, research database, apps, and simulation training, computer programmes and of course new guidelines. Do you know what you need to know, when you need to know it? If not have a listen and then download and read the guidelines and put up the algorithm posters on your walls, and if you can take the course. It was great to talk to Prof Fletcher about this, inspirational. We hope that you enjoy. Some websites of interest https://recoverinitiative.org https://learning.acvecc.org/ https://www.vetsim.org/open-vetsim The guidelines https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14764431/2024/34/S1 We will be running some RECOVER rescuer workshops at the RVC next year. https://cpd.rvc.ac.uk/cpd-courses/recover-certification-workshopWorkshops globally are listed elsewhere on the RECOVER website https://recoverinitiative.org/certification-workshops/ To Cite this podcast as: Dom Barfield.

    144 Anaesthesia sustainability

    Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are delighted to have Dr Aoife Ryan, one of our amazing lecturers in our Anaesthesia and Analgesia Team here at the RVC. Aoife had recently published a paper looking at the environmental impact, carbon emissions, of a routine surgical procedure. It is good to consider how we can reduce our carbon footprint personally and professionally and Aoife provides some take home messages around your anaestheised patient. We hope that you enjoy.

    143 Feline Infectious Peritonitis 2024

    Joining Brian and myself in our studio we are delighted to have Dr Sarah Tayler, one of our fabulous lecturers and Dr Jodie Green, one of our amazing residents both in our Small Animal Internal Medicine team here at the RVC. We thought it was time to catch up about Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), it has been a couple of years and we are understanding a little more about the therapies that we have, trying to find out why some patients don’t respond to therapy (going from a nearly 100% mortality to 20% and we are asking questions about these 20% - how times change quickly). We have a little more experience now in using these drugs in the UK, built on information from our Australian colleagues, and now they are available in the USA. We hope that you enjoy.

    142 Relapse of dogs with immune mediated disease

    Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are joined by the fantastic Richard Sparrow, Staff Clinician in Internal Medicine here at the RVC. Richard recently published a paper looking at relapse rates in immune mediated diseases (immune mediated haemolytic anaemia, immune mediated thrombocytopenia and immune mediated polyarthritis) in dogs and we thought to use this as a sounding board for a conversation about this topic, how to treat and taper immunosuppressive drugs and what do we do about ongoing preventative healthcare, such as vaccination. We hope that you enjoy.   Reference:  https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jvim.17004 To Cite this podcast as: Dom Barfield.

    141 Sleep, fatigue and mental health

    Joining Brian and myself in our studio (three times a charm) we are delighted to speak to Nicola Ho, Lecturer in Anaesthesia and Analgesia here at the RVC. Nicola, with her anaesthesia colleagues, sent out a questionnaire to those anaesthesia vets, nurses and technicians to find out how sleep and fatigue affected them. It is an interesting and pertinent topic when most of us have roles in which we need to work shift work and/or be on call and how that might affect us, and the patients we look after. It might not have answers though a space to start or continue the conversation to think about what you can do to make it better where you are for you and your team. We hope that you enjoy.

    140 Oral hypoglycaemic drugs for diabetic cat

    Joining Brian and myself in our studio (again, that is two in a row) we delighted to speak to Chris Scudder, Senior Lecturer in Internal Medicine and Co-Head of the Internal Medicine Team here at the RVC. There has been a couple of new drugs on the market one in the USA (bexagliflozin) and one in the UK (velagliflozin) both SGLT-2 inhibitors, oral hypoglycaemic agents to be used in newly diagnosed diabetic cats. We thought we’d chat to Chris about the information that is out there about these agents, how they can be used and what questions we have about their use. He recently spoke to our ECC team about euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis (eDKA) and I was intrigued. We hope that you enjoy.
