This program consists of 7
hours of multi-media, lecture presentations and a 2 hour "Hands on" workshop presented by wildlife veterinarians
Dr. Keith Amass and Dr. Mark Drew known worldwide as specialists in animal
capture.
| LECTURE
TOPICS WILL INCLUDE: |
|
Philosophy
and General Considerations Prior to the Use of Chemical
Immobilization as a Capture technique: Purpose and
application; proper injection sites. Animal
Behavior: Flight reaction; flight distance. Understanding
Stress. Techniques to minimize Capture Stress and Mortality in
Animals.
Remote Delivery
Equipment and Technology: Long
and short range projectors, blowguns, pole syringes, hand injection:
What equipment is available? How does it function? How well does it
hold up to field use? Choosing the system to best fit your needs;
Advantages and disadvantages of the various commercially available
systems, How to get the most utility out of the projector you
already own:
Equipment design and Mechanics/ overview of commercially
available systems. Hand syringes; blowguns; darts; remote delivery
equipment utilizing carbon dioxide, compressed air, 22 blank powered
charges (including Pneu-dart, Telinject, Daninject, Paxarms,
Distinject, Palmer (Cap-chur); ballistics and range; techniques to
ensure consistent accuracy and atraumatic dart delivery; terminal
impact and the importance of minimizing tissue damage on injection;
effects of wind on dart; radio transmitter darts, practice and
equipment maintenance
Drug and Dosage
Recommendations: Learn the
Safest, Most Current Drug and Dosage Recommendations for Captive and
Free Ranging White-tailed Deer. Including preferred techniques for
handling, loading, transport, TB testing, semen collection,
artificial insemination, and other procedures. Dosage
Calculation: Standard Formulas
for dosage calculation; Super concentrated
Drugs: How to use them, where to obtain them, and why they
afford more rapid knockdowns with smaller volumes. Post
Immobilization Procedures and Techniques of Anesthetic Monitoring: How
to ensure the animal remains physiologically stable under
anesthesia: How to ensure the correct level of immobilization
for an approach which affords operator safety and minimizes stress
to the animal; handling the immobilized animal; proper species
specific positioning; vital signs: what they tell you and how to
monitor them (temperature, pulse, heart rate, respiratory rate,
capillary refill time); proper techniques of dart removal; dart
wound care, the use of antibiotics and tetanus prophylaxis, reversal
agents; release and recovery. Procedure checklists and patient care
monitoring protocols provided!! How
to Recognize, Prevent and Treat Immobilization Related Medical
Emergencies: Clinical Signs,
Supportive Field Procedures and Preventive Measures: Respiratory
distress and arrest; circulatory failure and shock; disturbances of
thermoregulation: hyperthermia/hypothermia; bloat; capture myopathy;
physical injury, seizures; pneumonia, mortality of uncared young;
cardiac arrest; post-mortem examination; emergency kits. Personnel
and Public Safety: Developing Human Safety Protocols for Accidental
Exposure to Anesthetic or Immobilizing Medications: Which
Anesthetics are dangerous to humans?; What can you expect with
accidental human exposure?' recommended protective safety equipment
and techniques to minimize and prevent accidental human exposure;
How to initiate and develop safety protocols with your local
hospital; firearms safety; equipment safety; field emergency kits;
security; public safety precautions. Record
Keeping/ Legal Considerations: Report
forms, checklists, drug logs, drug labeling recommendations, the
latest on AMDUCA (Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act),
establishing withdrawal times for meat consumption after the use of
anesthetic agents, and DEA regulations. |

HANDS ON
LABORATORY TOPICS WILL INCLUDE: |
- Safe
Handling and use of Immobilization Darts, Use of Safety Equipment
for the Prevention of Accidental Human Exposure to Anesthetic Drugs:
Dart Loading Practice, Comparison of
Commercially Available Products, and Techniques to Prevent Human
Injury: Participants discuss basic dart component structure and
function, barb variations, inherent problems or advantages of
various systems, and practice assembling and loading with air/gas
inject, and explosive discharge darts, including: Pneu-dart,
Simmons, Daninject, Telinject, Paxarms, Cap-chur, Ballisti-Vet,
homemade systems and others.
Safety precautions are discussed and
protective equipment is utilized simulating loading and unloading
darts under field conditions
- Safe handling and Use
of Short and Long Range Projectors:
Field
Practice, and Comparison of Commercially Available Products:
Participants discuss application, assembly, loading, cost
comparison, maintenance, range limitations, equipment modifications
to minimize trauma, and field repair for air powered, CO2 powered,
and 22 caliber charged projectors. Practice includes the use of Pneu-dart,
Teleinject, Daninject, Palmer, Paxarms systems and others.
- Practice and
Development of Proficiency with the Blowgun:
Even
if you have never used a blowgun, you will leave this portion of the
program being accurate and proficient using this safe, inexpensive,
and atraumatic technique.
- Practice and
Development of Proficiency with Radio-Tracking Darts:
Efficient
Location of Animals, Rapid Retrieval of Lost Darts: Participants
practice with the latest in radio tracking devices, placed within
the tail of darts
