MedExpert workshop on inhalation anaesthesia at the Veterinary Days in Split
The Veterinary Days, Croatia's most important annual scientific and professional meeting for veterinary doctors, were held in Split from 7 to 9 November. The event brought together representatives of large- and small-animal practice, public health and food safety, as well as biomedical researchers. MedExpert's veterinary team, Tomislav Brajko, DVM, MSc, and Dino Paškvan, LLM, also attended.
They presented a wide range of Mindray systems, including Vetus 80 and Vetus E3 ultrasound systems, the Vetipad M1plus digital detector, the Veta 5+ anaesthesia system, ePM12 and uMec12 patient monitors, the AniFM I3 infusion pump, the AniFM S3 syringe pump, Aohua OR-100 and FHD-15 endoscopes, and the Skyla Solution biochemistry analyser.
We would like to thank Ivan Zemljak, President of the Organising Committee and the Croatian Veterinary Chamber, for presenting us with a certificate of appreciation for our contribution to and assistance with organising the congress.
Mindray Veta 5+ at Dr Dmitrović's workshop
The Mindray Veta 5+ was the focus of a workshop on inhalation anaesthesia and anaesthesia complications led by Dr Petra Dmitrović from the Clinic for Surgery, Orthopaedics and Ophthalmology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Zagreb. This advanced veterinary anaesthesia system combines an excellent ventilation system with high precision and can be connected to vital-sign monitors, infusion pumps and oxygen generators, making it an excellent choice for modern veterinary practice.
A challenging year for veterinarians
This year's meeting once again highlighted the importance of the veterinary profession in protecting animal and human health and its key role in food safety. Croatian veterinarians played a crucial role in several crisis situations, from preventing the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, peste des petits ruminants and African swine fever to controlling anthrax. The profession also faces staff shortages, low fees and declining interest among young veterinary doctors in working with farm animals, all of which pose serious challenges to its sustainability.
