Join us for a FREE 2-hour virtual Mini Bootcamp - Regional Ultrasound in Action: Emergency Diagnostics & Regional Anesthesia for Small Animals on December 10, 2025, sponsored by Samsung.

Hosted by the Center for Continuing Professional Education, this interactive mini bootcamp will explore how point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is transforming small animal emergency and surgical care. Participants will gain knowledge of how POCUS provides real-time diagnostic insights to support rapid, informed decision-making at the cageside. Core topics include the detection of pericardial, pleural, and abdominal effusion; evaluation of the urinary system; and identification of gastrointestinal abnormalities. A systematic, goal-directed approach will be emphasized to optimize efficiency in high-pressure clinical scenarios.

The session will also cover the expanding role of ultrasound in locoregional anesthesia. Attendees will learn the essentials of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for pain management, including relevant sonographic anatomy (e.g., brachial plexus, femoral/sciatic, intercostal, and dental blocks), equipment selection, image acquisition, needle guidance, and safety considerations.

Through clinical case examples, participants will leave with a practical framework for incorporating both diagnostic and anesthetic ultrasound techniques into their emergency and surgical workflows—enhancing diagnostic accuracy, advancing pain management, and improving patient outcomes.

She became board certified by the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care in 2017 and the European College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care in 2019.
After five years as on faculty at the University of Bern, Switzerland and Washington State University, she recently returned to the University of California, Davis as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Veterinary Simulation and Emergency and Critical Care Medicine. Her professional interests include cardiopulmonary resuscitation, simulation-based research, and simulation-based teaching.
Manuel Barrientos DVM
Dr. Barrientos is a third year resident in the Anesthesiology Service at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH). He works alongside multiple board-certified anesthesiologists, who together manage most of the patients that are anesthetized at the VMTH and provide dedicated attention to the patient before, during, and after anesthesia.
