Recently in human medicine there has been a shift in advice from ABC (airway, breathing, circulation) to CAB (circulation, airway, breathing) in cases of cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR); with a public campaign from the British Heart Foundation stating a preference towards hands‐only CPCR (http://www.bhf.org.uk). There has been much debate in veterinary medicine as to which approach is best to take in our patients and if there should be a shift in thinking. This article will be focusing on Basic Life Support (BLS).
