Managing Cardiopulmonary Arrest
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) is characterized by abrupt, complete failure of the respiratory and circulatory systems. The lack of cardiac output and oxygen delivery to tissues (DO2) can quickly cause unconsciousness and systemic cellular death from oxygen starvation. If left untreated, cerebral hypoxia results in complete biologic brain death within 4 to 6 minutes of CPA.1,2 Therefore, prompt cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) is imperative. Veterinary technicians can play a key role in ensuring that patients receive this treatment.
