Deep Diving into IV Euthanasia Injections: Tactical Solutions for Difficult Access (FREE CAETA WEBINAR)

We all know that euthanasia drugs can be given intravenously (IV), and many practitioners prefer this route over other options. We expect these drugs to bring about rapid death, but what if they don’t? What do we do when we cannot access our preferred vein or the vein blows mid-injection? In this session, we review how IV euthanasia drugs work, the best veins to work with, how to keep blood pressures up before and during the injection, and various ways to troubleshoot when things get tough. If you want to become a venous master, this one’s for you.

• Become familiar with how euthanasia drugs work when given via the vein
• Adjust protocols to increase venous access
• Prepare to troubleshoot and pivot to alternative methods
