Presentation Description / Summary: This joint session will summarize research findings from ex vivo and in vivo studies investigating metabolic resuscitation (vitamin C, thiamine, and hydrocortisone) as adjunctive treatment for equine sepsis. Results from studies in both foals and adult horses will be shared. Dose determination for each drug will be discussed, as well as potentially beneficial immunomodulatory and antioxidant effects of the combined protocol. Limitations and future research will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

Define metabolic resuscitation.
Understand how metabolic resuscitation drugs work synergistically to reduce oxidative stress.
Recognize the current limitations in our understanding of metabolic resuscitation in horses.
