In today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, Dr. Justine Lee, DACVECC, DABT discusses what you need to know about oxygen supplementation in your veterinary patients. Once you've determined your patient is hypoxemic and needs oxygen therapy, you'll need to figure out which method of delivery of oxygen is best for your patient, you, and your hospital (e.g., based on equipment available, 24/7 care, etc.). When in doubt, know that oxygen saves lives! Methods of oxygen delivery range from flow-by oxygen to face mask delivery to using an oxygen cage or nasal canulas or using a mechanical ventilator. Tune in to learn more. If you didn't listen to Part 1 on how to determine if your patient needs oxygen, listen HERE! Special shout out to Melanie Newton, CVT VTS (ECC) for her assistance with this podcast!
