Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) is a source of stress and anxiety for many veterinarians, but it does not have to be! GDV is a condition with a relatively predictable clinical course and, with appropriate management, can be treated successfully.

In this webinar, you will learn how to approach a patient with GDV from initial presentation through to postoperative care. Practical tips will be provided on the initial stabilisation of these patients, followed by a detailed, step-by-step review of the surgical procedure. The aim is to give you the knowledge and confidence to manage your next GDV patient effectively during an emergency or on-call shift.

The following topics will be covered:

  • Overview of the pathophysiology of GDV
  • Diagnosis of GDV
  • Stabilisation of the patient
  • Surgical techniques for the treatment of GDV
  • Postoperative care
  • Prognosis and prevention

This 1.5-hour webinar is divided into several chapters, each featuring a short video presentation based on a pre-recorded PowerPoint. You will also receive comprehensive course handouts to support the material covered.

Questions for the instructor can be submitted via the online forum.
