How Registered Veterinary Nurses Support During Emergencies
During emergencies, Registered Veterinary Nurses are vital in stabilising patients and supporting veterinarians. Their skills include triage, placing intravenous catheters, administering emergency medications under supervision, monitoring anaesthesia, delivering oxygen therapy, preparing surgical equipment, and providing intensive care nursing.
At BVH, RVNs assist with critical care cases such as trauma, respiratory distress, seizures, shock, poisoning and severe infections.
Their quick response and clinical judgement can be life‑saving in emergency situations. RVNs ensure patients receive continuous monitoring and support throughout their recovery.
Their dedication, clinical skill and compassion make them crucial members of our emergency team, helping BVH deliver high-quality, rapid-response care.
