8:00am | "The Incurable but Highly Treatable Demon of Medical Bias "
Cognitive bias has become increasingly recognized as an important source of medical error. It is ubiquitous throughout clinical practice yet incompletely understood. This is especially true in veterinary medicine where it has barely been acknowledged as a major problem. We will discuss the potential origins of bias, illustrate a number of important biases that commonly occur in clinical practice, and consider potential strategies that may be used to mitigate their effect. 

Dr. Ed Fallin
Sponsored by Veterinary Referral & Critical Care (VRCC)
9:15am | "History and Physical Examination: The Lost Art"
The importance of history and physical examination in making a correct medical diagnosis has been known for centuries, yet these skills are progressively becoming used with less frequency, and with less effectiveness. This is having a profound negative impact on the speed, efficiency, accuracy, and cost of obtaining an accurate diagnosis. We will look at the multiple causes of this phenomenon, its impact on veterinary medicine, and methodologies that can be used to master these basic, but essential skills. 

Dr. Gregory Lisciandro
10:10am | "Global FAST® Point-of-care Ultrasound: AFAST® & Its Target-organ Approach & Fluid Scoring System - More than a POCUS!"
We will cover image acquisition for the 5-acoustic windows (views) of the AFAST exam and its "target-organ approach" to not only detect free fluid but also for obvious soft tissue abnormalities with clear advantages over physical exam, basic blood and urine testing, and radiography. Through the AFAST Approach and its 5 standardized views, the clinician "sees their problem list" and thus diagnostic and treatment plans are often more accurate and better streamlined. The AFAST-applied fluid scoring system will also be introduced and its use to track hemorrhagic and non-hemorrhagic effusions to give more clinical relevance to a positive AFAST. Applications are widespread and practical for all veterinarians including the general practitioner, the emergency veterinarian, and the clinical specialist Practical everyday cases are used to show this approach’s clinical impact.

Dr. Gregory Lisciandro
11:20am | "Global FAST® Point-of-care Ultrasound: TFAST® & the Accurate Diagnosis of Pericardial and Pleural Effusion - More than a POCUS!
We will cover TFAST and its 5-view design for detecting pneumothorax; and pleural and pericardial effusion by using our set of TFAST rules; and its fundamental echocardiography. These TFAST rules are important to help avoid mistaking heart chambers for either type of effusion or heart anatomy for other abnormalities.  Common causes for pericardial effusion in both dogs and cats, overcoming "confirmation bias error" and "satisfaction of search error", clinical imaging pearls, and advantages and limitations of TFAST as compared to radiography will also be discussed. Practical everyday cases are used to show this approach’s achievability for the non-radiologist, non-cardiologist, and its clinical impact.

Dr. Gregory Lisciandro
1:20pm | "Global FAST® Point-of-care Ultrasound: TFAST® Fundamental Echocardiography and Doing the EPIC Guidelines - More than a POCUS!
We will cover fundamental TFAST echocardiography views for obvious abnormalities of the left- and right-heart, general systolic dysfunction, volume status, and soft tissue abnormalities missed or only suspected by thoracic radiography. The EPIC Guidelines and their mandated echocardiography measurements will be reviewed. Fundamental TFAST echocardiography has clear advantages over the radiographic cardiac silhouette; and can detect cardiac-related pathology including masses and intracardiac heartworms. Practical everyday cases are used to show this approach’s clinical impact.

Dr. Gregory Lisciandro
2:20pm | "Global FAST® Point-of-care Ultrasound: Vet BLUE® Lung Ultrasound - Your New Stethoscope - 'Wet vs Dry Lung' and Its Signs of Consolidation - More than a POCUS!"
We will discuss the evolution of lung ultrasound beginning over 30-years ago in 1986 and some important findings that led to its clinical use in people and animals.  Following the short introduction, we will review how to perform Vet BLUE and its 9 unique regional views, the lung ultrasound artifacts of "wet lung" versus "dry lung", the novel Vet BLUE B-line scoring and its inherent severity scoring system for assessing and tracking respiratory patients, and its signs of consolidation - Shred, Tissue, Nodule, and Wedge Signs. Vet BLUE is advantageous as a unique and novel regional, pattern-based approach for developing a working diagnosis for common small animal respiratory conditions. Comparisons to radiography and computed tomography will be made discussing advantages and limitations of the Vet BLUE approach. Practical everyday cases are used to show this approach’s clinical impact.
