Upcoming Continuing Education Lecture


Bacterial Pneumonia: So Many Antibiotics to Choose From

 

John Anastasio, DVM, DACVECC
Medical Director of VRC

Wednesday, July 13, 2016
7:00pm

This lecture will provide an evidence-based discussion about common etiologies, diagnoses, and empirical treatments of bacterial pneumonia in dogs. Bacterial pneumonia is a potentially life-threatening disease that affects dogs of all ages. Early identification and treatment with appropriate empirical antibiotics has been shown to improve outcomes in humans with severe sepsis. Applying this concept to our patients brings to light the following questions: Which  empirical antibiotics are appropriate for the treatment of pneumonia? Should there be a different approach for patients with hospital acquired pneumonia? Do we have enough veterinary literature on the subject to make proper recommendations? The hour will focus on addressing these questions by evaluating the different types of bacterial pneumonia, veterinary literature assessments of antibiotic therapy, and various methods used to ensure appropriate spectrum of antibiotic coverage.

Lecture provides 1 credit of complimentary CE through RACE to veterinarians and veterinary technicians.

Digital Transmission of Diagnostic Imagery

Help us to improve efficiency and communication throughout the referral process!

 

To our Referral Community,

We are always looking for ways to improve the interchange of patient information with our referral community. VRC now offers the ability to send and receive any diagnostic image virtually diagnosticimageincluding CT, X-ray, and MRI scans for practices that currently utilize digital radiography machines.

Digital transmission allows for seamless and timely transfers of data between your practice and VRC, which will result in improved efficiency and communication at the benefit of your patients. This process preserves original quality and eliminates the possibility of lost records as they journey as they journey between our offices. Digital transfer of diagnostic imagery facilitates a faster and more accurate diagnosis in a field where time is often of the essence.

Digital transmission requires a simple 10-15 minute procedure performed remotely by one of our experienced IT professionals. If interested, contact Sandy Kush at (610)647-2950 to register or to request further information.
