The Acute Abdomen: What Would You Do? An Anaesthetic Simulation

In case you missed our real-time, interactive discussion with our Head of Anaesthesia and Analgesia, Robyn Thomson, where we managed a hypothetical emergency: a Labrador with an acute abdomen requiring immediate surgery, here is the recording!

Watch as attendees worked through the case step by step, discussing their considerations, how they would prepare, and what anaesthetic approach to take. Then, they hypothetically anaesthetised the patient, and as complications arose, they decided on the next steps.

Their decisions determined the outcome. Their choices directly influenced the simulated anaesthetic monitoring data, displayed live on screen via a real-time monitor. Attendees watched the effects of their clinical reasoning unfold and tested their ability to adapt under pressure.

Whether you’re in general practice or a referral setting, this session offers practical takeaways, collaborative discussion, and a unique opportunity to trial your anaesthetic approach in a high-stakes scenario, without the real-life pressure.

Thanks for watching!
