Join Drs. Soren Boysen and Serge Chalhoub as they teach point-of-care ultrasound protocols and techniques that put septic peritonitis high on the list of differential diagnoses.

Discover the critical role veterinary ultrasound plays in the diagnosis and management of septic peritonitis in this upcoming dynamic and informative 1-hour webinar. Drs. Boysen and Chalhoub will:

  • Describe the pathophysiology of septic peritonitis in dogs and cats
  • Demonstrate how to scan the abdomen for free fluid and air
  • Show how to image the gallbladder when looking for wall edema
  • Perform ultrasound of the caudal vena cava to assess hemodynamic status
  • Showcase pathological examples of the septic abdomen and treatment
  • Demonstrate ultrasound-guided abdominocentesis for cytology

We’re excited to welcome the dynamic duo of Drs. Soren Boysen and Serge Chalhoub, leading experts in the field of veterinary POCUS, for another dynamic lecture on a very serious topic – the septic abdomen.

Septic peritonitis (SP) is a severe, life-threatening condition in dogs and cats. Recognizing the signs and symptoms is paramount as the diagnosis requires early intervention for the best outcomes. Abdominal ultrasonography has proven “more accurate than radiography to detect the presence of free abdominal fluid.”1 This webinar will delve into the realm of veterinary POCUS, focusing on its ability to provide vital sonographic clues for early detection.

Through an informative presentation and video demonstrations our expert speakers will guide you through the essential aspects of SP diagnosis, including the key clinical indicators, pathophysiology, and the crucial role of ultrasound in early detection.

You’ll gain valuable insights into how veterinary professionals can use wireless ultrasound to assess abdominal changes, identify even trace amounts of free fluid or air, and recognize the peritoneal signs that warrant immediate intervention.

Drs Boysen and Chalhoub will be joined by your host and emergency physician Dr. Oron Frenkel and sonographer Shelley Guenther who will showcase live scanning with the Clarius C7 Vet HD3 wireless scanner! Don’t miss this educational webinar – register today to take your abdominal ultrasound scanning skills to the next level.
