CPR: basic life support

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Cardiopulmonary arrest is an emergency situation which can present to any veterinary clinic at any time. The RECOVER guidelines (2012) are an evidence-based consensus for current cardiopulmonary resuscitation recommendations for veterinary patients. Being prepared is the key to dealing with the situation in a quick and efficient manner. Preparedness consists of having a ‘ready area’, stocked crash trolley and team training. All members of the team should be trained and confident in delivering basic life support measures which include chest compressions, endotracheal intubation and manually ventilating the patient.
