18. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Basics of the fluid therapy and parenteral feeding Flashcards
indications of CPR
cardiac arrest
pulmonary arrest
cardiopulmonary arrest
Clinical signs of an arrest
Loss of consciousness
Loss of spontaneous ventilation
Loss of palpable pulse
Loss of cardiac sounds on auscultation
Predisposition of an arrest
Heart Failure
Severe pul disease
coagulopathy
trauma
Brain trauma
SIRS
sepsis
neoplasia
toxicosis
anaesthesia
Potential reversible causes of an arrest
Hypovolemia
Hypoxia
Hydrogen ions (acidosis)
Hyper/ o kalaemia
Hypoglycaemia
Toxins
Tension ptx
Thromboembolism
tamponade
trauma
considerations before cpr
underlying disease
will of owner
timing (perform cpr within 3-5mins of arrest)
equipment needed
staff
5 stpes of cpr
- preparedness and prevention
- bls
- als
- monitoring
- post reuscitation care
aim of CPR
provide oxygen and blood to the heart and brain
Process of CPR
10second physical exam to detect breaths, heartbeats, degree of bradycardia
1. airways
2. breathing
3. circulation
4. drugs
5. ecg
6. fluid therapy
how to stimulated the ren zhong acupuncture point
on ventral philtrum until you reach bone
spontaneous breathing can be stimulated
10-12breaths/ min
where to place hands for compressions
Large dog - widest part of chest
Medium dog - over heart
Small dog / cat - fingers & thumb over heart
how many compression per min
100-120
what are the emergency drugs
adrenaline
atropine
NaHCO3
glucose
furosemide
function of adrenaline
peripheral arteriolar vasoconstrictor
coronary and cerebral perfusion pressure increase
function of atropine
used during vagotonia induced asytole and severe brady cardia
increased HR, BP, systemic vascular resistance
Function of NaHCO3
Used in metabolic acidosis & hyperkalaemia
function of furosemide
only in pulmonary oedema
why perform an ecg
evaluate arrhythmias
if animal is in asystole
give adrenaline then atropine
if the animal is in ventricular tachycardia
defib x3
lignocaine/ amiodarone
if animal is in ventriuclar fib / flutter
defib x3
adrenaline / lignocaine
if animal is in sinus bradycardia
atropine –> adrenaline –> atropine -> adrenaline
when to give adrenaline
asystole
VF
PEA
when to give atropine
asystole
sinus brady cardia
when to give sodium bicardonate
severe met acidosis
during cpr
when to give amiodaron
refractory VF
pulseless - VT
when to give lidocaine
v. flutter
VF after failed defibrillation
when to give naloxone
reversal of opioids
what is the goal of fluid therapy post cpr
the normalisation of vital signs
contraindicated in pulmonary oedema cases
Isotonic balanced crystalloid solution
shock dose
Dog - 60-90ml / kg
Cat - 45-60ml / kg
Synthetic colloids shock dose
expand intravascular colume
Dog - 5ml / kg
Cat - 1-3ml / kg
given in IV boluses over 20mins
