Diuresis in Congestive Heart Failure: Balancing Evidence-Based Medicine with the Art of Medicine

Ceva Cardiology is offering presentations on December 1st and 8th with Dr. Darcy Adin (cardiologist at the University of Florida). As with Dr. Oyama's talk, there is one for specialists and one for GPs.

This talk has nothing to do with CARDALIS (it's about diuretics) but we continue to offer talks that will push forward our agenda to become the undisputed leader in cardiology. RACE CE is pending but not approved yet.

CAUTI or Nice? Placing and Maintaining the Urinary Catheter

The placement of urinary catheters in dogs and cats is a relatively common procedure in veterinary medicine. This lecture will review and provide technical tips and tricks to ensure success through the use of videos and pictures. Both routine and challenging catheter placements will be discussed. Finally, using the current literature, we will suggest optimal catheter care regimes and development of a urinary catheter "bundle" that can be introduced into any practice.
