“…The 1st scientific references to artificial ventilation appeared in the 16th century. 2 Andreas Vesalius, often referred to as the father of resuscitation, described the use of bellows for apnea in 1530. 2 Tossach documented the administration of mouth-to-mouth ventilation in 1732.…”

“…Since 1960, little improvement has been made in the success rate of CPCR in humans. 2,3 Approximately 330,000 people in the United States die every year from sudden cardiac arrest, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. 4 The survival rate for out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest in people, defined by survival to discharge from the hospital, is o6.4% for the United States and Canada.…”

In December 2005, the American Heart Association published new guidelines for cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) in humans for the 1st time in 5 years. Many of the recommendations are based on research conducted in animal species and may be applicable to small animal veterinary patients. One important change that may impact how CPCR is performed in veterinary medicine is the recommendation to avoid administration of excessive ventilatory rates because this maneuver severely decreases myocardial and cerebral perfusion, decreasing the chance of survival. The new guidelines also emphasize the importance of providing well-executed, continuous, uninterrupted chest compressions. Interruption of chest compressions should be avoided and, if necessary, should be minimized to o10 seconds. During defibrillation, immediate resumption of chest compressions for 2 minutes after a single shock, before reassessment of the rhythm by ECG, is recommended. This recommendation replaces previous recommendations for the delivery of 3 defibrillatory shocks in rapid succession. Allowing permissive hypothermia postresuscitation has been found to be beneficial and may increase success rate. Medications utilized in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including amiodarone, atropine, epinephrine, lidocaine, and vasopressin, along with the indications, effects, routes of administration, and dosages, are discussed. The application of the new guidelines to veterinary medicine as well as a review of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in small animals is provided.
