VIN CE Course: Open to veterinarians and veterinary technicians/technologists .
This course has been submitted for RACE approval for
veterinarians and veterinary technicians/technologists .
Course Information:
The initial approach to a patient with respiratory distress is
of utmost importance as it can determine whether these critical
patients live or die. The first step in examining a patient with
a respiratory emergency is to perform a primary survey, efficiently
evaluating airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs).
A clinician should evaluate the patient's breathing pattern and
work of breathing; particular attention should be given to the phase
of breathing affected and effort should be made to determine
if the breathing pattern is obstructive or restrictive.
Anatomical localization of the cause of respiratory distress is assessed
through a "look, listen and feel" approach, and may be a very powerful tool
for assessing underlying structural changes.

About the Presenters:
Tony Johnson is a 1996 graduate of Washington State

in Portland, Oregon. In October, 2003 he became ACVECC board certified.
Dr. Johnson went on to practice critical care medicine in Chicago, Illinois and
Gaithersburg Maryland before joining VIN. He was on faculty at the Purdue University
School of Veterinary Medicine for several years, and has lectured at many local,
national and international veterinary conferences. He was inadvertently voted
Speaker of the Year for the Western Veterinary Conference for 2010, and has
somehow won several teaching awards. Dr. Johnson's special interests include
pain management, bacon, mechanical ventilation, trauma, blood banking and
transfusion medicine. In his free time, he enjoys woodworking, blogging,
counting his vast fortune in debt, cooking, SCUBA diving and raising his
2 young sons and daughter. He is married to Gretchen Statz,
also a veterinary criticalist.
Amy Carr is the managing partner at California Veterinary
Specialists' Murrieta facility where she also oversees emergency and critical
care services. She is the director for CVS' internship and residency programs.
Dr. Carr obtained her DVM from the University of MN in 1988 and has practiced
emergency medicine exclusively since then. After completing an alternate track
residency, she became a diplomate of the American College of Emergency and
Critical Care in 1999. She is an active volunteer for the American College of
Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care and recently completed her second term
as regent. She is a consultant in emergency and critical care for the Veterinary
Information Network. When not working she is trying to herd her three children,
ages 25, 23 and 21 toward responsible adulthood. She is married to her best friend,
business and life partner Tim Concannon, also an emergency specialist.
In addition to their three human kids, one neurotic cat and one goofy Irish
setter complete the household.
Christopher Byers is the Medical Director at VCA MidWest
Veterinary Referral & Emergency Center in Omaha, Nebraska. He received his BS degree
in Animal Sciences from Colorado State University, and his DVM from Cornell
University's College of Veterinary Medicine. He is board-certified in Small Animal Emergency
and Critical Care, as well as small animal internal medicine. He is also a Certified
Veterinary Journalist in the American Society of Veterinary Journalists.
Dr. Byers enjoys clinical research, and his current areas of interest include
immune-mediated diseases and abdominal compartment syndrome. He publishes a
weekly blog for pet owners: CriticalCareDVM.com with the sole purpose of educating
pet parents about the benefits of partnering with board-certified veterinary specialists.
He has co-authored the textbook,
"Handbook of Veterinary Emergency Protocols: Dog and Cat."
