16 | How to care for patients with ethylene glycol toxicity as a vet nurse

In this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're chatting all about managing ethylene glycol toxicity. These patients commonly present as emergencies and require very intensive nursing care - the disease carries a poor prognosis, and it's often fatal.  However, with rapid intervention and intensive treatment and nursing, recovery can be possible. Today, we're talking all about what happens when a patient ingests EG, and how we can treat and nurse these patients accordingly - along with the practical skills we can use to support them. --- 📲 Download the modified Glasgow Coma Scale here: https://bvns.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Neurotransmitter-2.0-MGCS-final.pdf --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today's episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast  --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com --- 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing  --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and the content within it is provided for information only.
