Q 
hand positioning for compressions:
L-M dogs
Barrel-chested
keel-chested dogs,
small dogs,cats
A

L-M dogs= hands over widest part of chest(thoracic pump method)
Barrl-chested dogs= hands over sternum
keel-chested dogs=diectly over heart (cardiac pump method)
small dogs/cats= directly over heart

16
Q

how to preform intermittent abdominal compressions

A

compress abdomen laterally, alternating w chest compressions, 1 abdominal compression every 15 cardiac compressions (use two hands for small d or c, two people for L-M dog)

17
Q

to check EKG, to check effectivness of compressions, you must

A

stop compressions

18
Q

how aiway managment is done (cAb)

A

intubation

19
Q

give 1 breath every __ -__ compressions

A

6-10

20
Q

if giving positive pressure ventillation via an Ambu bag or rebreathing bag, give 1 breath every __-___ sec (how many per min?)

A

10-12 sec, 12-20 per min

21
Q

how to give breaths if animal is not intubated

A

mouth-snout after every 30 compressions (blow 2 breaths into nares)

22
Q

what D and E stand for in Advanced Life Support

A

drugs and electricity (defibrillation)

23
Q

what is an intraosseous catheter

A

catheter placed directly in bone marrow

24
Q

what vassopressors do, why they would be used

A

cause vasoconstriction

increase blood flow to core, increases rate and force of contraction

25
Q

what epinephrine/ adreniline is used for

A

jumpstart heart (is a vassopressor)

26
Q

examples of antiarrythmic drugs

A

lidocaine, amiodarone

27
Q

examples of respiratory stimulant drugs

A

doxapram, dopram, respiram

28
Q

why high-dose corticosteriods would be used in ALS

A

give during CPR to maintain BP (has severe neg side effects)

29
Q

neg side effects of corticosteroids

A

GI ulceration/ bleeding, immunosupression, hypoperfusion of kidney

30
Q

what is alkalinization therapy

A

body pH drops below normal (7.4)= acidosis, give sodium bicarbonate IV

31
Q

who is at risk of acidosis

A

patients in prolonged arrest (10-15min)

32
Q

what is ventricular fibrillation

A

ventricle muscles quiver, contractions not effective

33
Q

in what case would defibrillation be done

A

those in ventricular fibrillation, stops heart via electrical charge, allows for pacemaker to takeover

34
Q

how long to give compressions prior to defibrillating

A

2 min

35
Q

to defibrillate set machine to

A

2-5 J/kg

36
Q

where to place defribrillation paddles

A

R and L side of thorax
