The Vet Tribe Open Protocol: Cardiology
Your specialist-built quick reference for assessing and stabilising the patient with suspected cardiac disease.
Created by Dr Kevin Phipps DVM, DACVIM, this protocol distils referral-level cardiology into a printable, clinic-ready PDF you can trust when a patient is unstable and you have minutes, not hours.
Whether you are deciding if it is CHF or not, measuring a heart on radiographs, or reaching for the right dose under pressure, this guide walks you through the decisions in the order you actually make them.
Eight pages you will actually reach for on shift:
✔️ A CHF algorithm that starts where you start, with a patient in respiratory distress
✔️ How to measure VHS, VLAS and LA:Ao, and what counts as abnormal
✔️ Emergency drug dosing: furosemide, pimobendan, diltiazem, lidocaine, atropine
✔️ Algorithm for Diagnosis of Predominant (underlying) rhythm
✔️ Arrhythmia algorithm with the first-line drug for each rhythm
Essentials of Cardiology is coming.
