Description
Today's VetGirl podcast is by Dr. Marie Holowaychuk, DACVECC. She discusses a multicenter prospective evaluation of dogs with trauma. This podcast will review trauma scoring with different scoring systems: animal trauma triage [ATT], modified Glasgow coma scale [MGCS], and acute patient physiologic and laboratory evaluation [APPLE]. More importantly, it'll review the usefulness of these scoring systems and see if they can predict outcome. Overall, this study found that the severity of injury (e.g., penetrating trauma), along with surgery and how low the blood lactate levels were helped predictf survival.
