This course has been developed for equine practitioners to enhance their knowledge and practical skills of performing ultrasound-guided orthopedic injections and ultrasound-assisted surgical techniques. Between both afternoons, 7 hours of practical sessions will provide the opportunity to train in the different injection techniques on horses and equine specimens in true small-groups (2 – 4 vets per ultrasound machine). Evaluating horses for poor performance can be a daunting task because different conditions may present with similar clinical signs, leaving vets wondering where to start the investigation. This 2-day practical course covers the most common causes of poor performance such as cardiac problems, upper respiratory obstructions, systemic diseases, gastric ulcers and muscle conditions through lectures and practical small-group sessions. The topic of convalescence from musculoskeletal conditions is approached through lectures on how to devise tailor-made rehabilitation programs and physiotherapy of the horse with upper front- and hindlimb problems and back/sacroiliac conditions. The use of pulse, lactate and GPS tracking as training and rehabilitation tools will furthermore be discussed. The 7 hours of practical sessions will allow delegates to further their practical skills on live horses and cadaver specimens in small groups (3-5 delegates per ultrasound machine).
