Canine CPR Quiz

Canine Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Key Points

• CPR management involves time sensitivity, A-B-C (Airway, Breathing, Circulation), drugs, electrical defibrillation, and follow-up.
• Airway management includes checking for obstruction and using endotracheal intubation or narrow catheter if necessary.
• Breathing involves IPPV, 100% O2, 10 breaths per minute, and monitoring chest rise and deflation.
• Circulation management includes checking pulses/heart sounds, continuous monitoring, and maintaining compressions.
• External cardiac compressions techniques vary for small dogs, cats, and large, barrel-chested breeds.
• Compression techniques produce output through indirect compression of the heart and increasing intrathoracic pressure.
• Successful external compressions require a rate of 100-120/min, proper table position, and allowing adequate time for recoil.
• Internal cardiac compressions are preferred in certain conditions and involve rapid clip, incision, and ventilation.
• Drug administration routes, such as central/jugular injection, peripheral injection, intraosseous, and transtracheal, are discussed.
• Drugs used in CPR include adrenaline, atropine, lidocaine, and vasopressin, with specific doses and indications.
• ECG monitoring is essential to determine arrest rhythm, which can be asystole, ventricular fibrillation, or pulseless electrical activity.
• Survival after CPR is reported, and the actions during an arrest, equipment needed, and signs of effective CPR and recovery are detailed.
