This one-day workshop addressed the challenges faced when presented with a dog with Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome. It aided surgical decision-making in these complex and often urgent cases. Participants learned about the anatomical and pathophysiologic changes associated with BOAS and the surgical techniques to correct them, as well as pre- and post-operative management for these compromised patients.
