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...

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...

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 c...

OBJECTIVES To determine the correlation between the success rates of the cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) and the team's leader education and skill level in Shiraz, southern Iran. METHOD This cross-sectional study was conducted during a 6-month period from October 2007 to March 2008 in Nemazee hospital of Shiraz. We included all the patients who underwent CPCR due to cardiopulmon...

Context: This study aimed to provide an overview of cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) training methods for nurses in Iran and introduce some innovations using improve nurses’ knowledge skills clinical settings. Cardiac arrest is one the most common causes death worldwide. Evidence shows that despite support improving treating cardiac recent years, overall survival rate after it stil...

background: cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation (cpcr) training is essential for all hospital workers, especially junior residents who might become the manager of the resuscitation team. in our center, the traditional cpcr knowledge training curriculum for junior residents up to 5 years ago was lecture-based and had some faults. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of a problem-based meth...

OBJECTIVE To determine the association among signalment, health status, other clinical variables, and treatments and events during cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) for animals with cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) in a veterinary teaching hospital. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. ANIMALS 161 dogs and 43 cats with CPA. PROCEDURES Dat...

This case report demonstrates successful cardiopulmonary and cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) of a young male explored 15 hours following a suicide attempt (carbamazepine intoxication) in deep hypothermia (19 degrees C) with circulatory arrest. An extracorporeal circuit was used to rewarm the patient's blood. Weaning from extracorporeal circulation (ECC) was successful and without complications as...
