Course Description

This one-day workshop will address the challenges faced when presented with a dog with Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome. It will aid both your medical and surgical decision making in these complex and often urgent cases.  You will learn about the anatomical and pathophysiologic changes associated with BOAS and the surgical techniques to correct them, as well as pre- and post-operative management of these compromised patients.

Delegates will have plenty of opportunity to practice surgical techniques in a wet-lab setting.

Course Objectives

At the end of this workshop delegates should be able to:

• Appropriate case and airway surgery procedure selection for dogs with brachycephalic conformation

• Appropriate perioperative care for dogs with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome undergoing surgery

• Perform basic surgical techniques for improving brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome.

Value to Your Practice

Due to the recent increase both in popularity of brachycephalic breeds and the compromise of their welfare due to indiscriminate breeding, surgical correction of BOAS is frequently sought after to improve the quality of life of these animals.

Learning the techniques involved at this hands-on workshop will allow you to offer this service to your clients.
