Day 1 is highly practical to facilitate enough time for several intrabdominal surgical procedures. Day 2 will reflect on the perioperative presentation and management of haemabdomen and gastric dilation volvulus followed by upper airway obstructive conditions and there will be opportunity to place a tracheostomy tube placement, chest drains and jugular lines.
Topics to be covered
The key features of accurate, prompt diagnosis and stabilisation to improve the survival of common surgical emergency presentations, including haemabdomen and upper respiratory tract obstruction.
Practical procedures day 1: Exploratory coeliotomy, with the opportunity to practice (amongst many other intra-abdominal surgeries) splenectomy, gastropexy, enterectomy and placing cystostomy tubes
Practical procedures day 2: The practical procedures to place tracheostomy tubes, jugular lines, oesophageal tubes, chest drains and performing an epidural.
Who is it for?

This course will also benefit those who wish to update their approach to perioperative stabilisation and surgical practice.
