When Emily Brooke, our Nurse Anaesthesia Technician, attended the 2017 British Small Animal Veterinary Association Conference she presented a clinical abstract entitled ‘Comparison of canine intravenous catheter site preparation with standard chlorhexidine gluconate and isopropyl alcohol scrub versus a commercial single use 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% isopropyl alcohol applicator.
Her work was very well received and she won the BSAVA Best Poster Award (although clearly not the prize for the shortest title!!).
