Summary

This is the second part of the podcast talking to Dr Patrick J Kenny. Pat was a senior lecturer here at the RVC lecturer in veterinary neurology and neurosurgery, though has recently returned home to Sydney. We talk to Pat about an approach to spinal trauma, the Do’s and Don’ts, what imaging to perform and how to immobilise a patient. We pick up shortly after we were side tracked talking about steroids.

  • Immobilisation
  • Primary survey (ABC’s, or major body systems)
  • Oxygen
  • Check for deep pain
  • Analgesia
  • Secondary survey
  • Focus on maintaining blood pressure and keep up with oxygenation
  • Diagnostic imaging – survey radiographs and CT

Obviously, other stars are available, but I suppose we'd really

like those five-star reviews. It helps us get the clinical information to those people, just like

Kenny, who was previously a senior lecturer and head of the

0:54.7

neurology and neurology and neurosurgery service here at the RVC, and he's now at a private

referral practice in Sydney. So the audio of this is recorded from Skype, so he might be
