Sara Ho-Le | Founder
Emergency Veterinary Education
Sara qualified as a registered veterinary nurse with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2011. After working in clinical practice for several years, Sara returned to study in 2018 and completed the Certificate in Veterinary Nursing for Emergency and Critical Care (CertVNECC). In 2022 Sara obtained her Veterinary Technician Specialist qualification in Emergency and Critical Care through the Academy of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Technicians and Nurses (AVECCTN). Sara has worked in a variety of practices, including first opinion, specialist referral and emergency, university teaching hospitals and non-for-profit organisations in the United Kingdom and Australia. Sara’s professional interests include, emergency and critical care nursing, disease pathophysiology, anaesthesia and analgesia, wound care and in-clinic teaching and training. Sara has authored and delivered a variety of online and in-clinic modules, tutorials and courses for her own veterinary education business ‘Emergency Veterinary Education’, and for other educators and organisations.
Appearances:
Day 2 @ 13:30
Bedside Monitoring Series; Pulse Oximetry
Pulse oximetry is a widely used diagnostic tool in veterinary practice that measures the percentage of haemoglobin saturated with oxygen (SpO2), serving as an indirect measure of arterial oxygen saturation. This presentation will review the functionality and mechanisms of pulse oximeters, and provide insight into how they operate to deliver SpO2 readings. While pulse oximetry plays a significant role in clinical practice, it is not without its limitations. This presentation will highlight the importance of understanding both the capabilities and limitations of pulse oximetry. We will discuss common pitfalls and potential causes of error, including poor perfusion, motion artefacts, and the presence of dyshaemoglobins, all of which can impact the accuracy of the readings. Understanding these limitations allows veterinary professionals to effectively interpret pulse oximetry results and make informed clinical decisions.
Day 2 @ 13:55
Bedside Monitoring Series; Capnography
Capnography is an extremely valuable, non-invasive tool that plays a critical role in veterinary anaesthesia and emergency settings. Capnography continuously measures exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) and provides real-time evaluation of ventilation efficiency. This presentation will explore the fundamental principles of capnography, including basic physiology and the definition of end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2). We will interpret common capnography waveforms, and identify the causes of abnormalities. Additionally, we will discuss how capnography provides information on circulation and metabolic rate, detects malfunctions in anaesthetic breathing circuits, and assists in regulating fresh gas flow in non-rebreathing circuits. While capnography is a great diagnostic tool, its interpretation can often be daunting and overwhelming. This presentation will break down the complexities, ensuring that veterinary professionals gain a solid understanding of capnography basics.
