Stay or Go? Discharge Decisions for Emergency Case
Aoife Reid, Head of Edge Programmes and Clinical Career Progression, Vets Now Ltd
Not every small animal emergency case requires hospitalisation, however determining which patients can be managed safely as outpatients can be challenging. When can a patient be safely managed at home? When is hospitalisation essential and when is homecare reasonable? This session will explore a practical approach to making admission decisions for common emergencies, including seizure patients, trauma cases, blocked cats, and those with haemorrhagic diarrhoea. We’ll then discuss a practical framework to balance clinical needs with pet-owner preferences and other considerations, with advice on setting realistic expectations and monitoring.
