Cardiopulmonary Cerebral Resuscitation: Techniques*

veterinary medicine. CPA is defined as sudden cessation of spontaneous and effective respiration and heartbeat. Veterinary staff should prepare for CPA by regularly reviewing techniques of cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR; see box on page 781). Reported survival rates after CPCR in humans are 5% to 20%. In-hospital survival rates are usually higher than out-of-hospital rates. In vet...

Predictors of Long-Term Survival after Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Abstract Introduction: Survival after cardiac arrest is one of the most important issues related to the safety and quality of patient care, and unexpected events such as failure to follow guidelines can endanger the patient's safety. Objective: This study aimed to determine the long-term survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and its predictors in patients with cardiac arrest. Materi...

Cerebral Oximetry and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

T he article by Ibrahim et al in this issue of JAHA describes how cerebral oximetry measured during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is associated with restoration of pulses and survival. The authors consider whether this technology, which is portable, noninvasive, and easy to apply, could be used to guide resuscitation. They wisely provide tempered enthusiasm for this technology, and their ...

Cardiopulmonary Cerebral Resuscitation: Current Guidelines

Cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) refers to the re-establishment of circulation and preservation of neurologic function following an arrest. Since its inception in the late 1800’s, CPCR has saved the lives of countless human and veterinary patients. However, low overall survival rates following CPCR indicate that there is still much room for improvement in these practices. This sess...
