Q

drawer 3 in emergency crash trolley

A
  • ventilation
  • pediatric + adult ambu-bag with capnograph connector and flow regulator
17
Q

drawer 4 in emergency crash trolley

A
  • drugs
  • low dose adrenaline (1:10,000)
  • high dose adrenaline (1:1000)
  • atropine (0.6mg/ml)
  • 50% dextrose
  • propofol (10mg/ml)
  • naloxone (1mg/ml)
  • drug dosing charts
  • ECG pads
  • 0.9% NaCl (pre-drawn up 10ml syringes)
18
Q

benefits of capnography during CPCR

A
  • gives eCO2 reading
  • to get a reading, there must be: perfusion, gas exchange, metabolism
19
Q

cardiac compressions on small animals vs larger breeds

A

cats and small dogs= cardiac pump
medium to large breed dogs= thoracic pump

20
Q

cardiac compressions

A
  • right lateral decumbency
  • compressor on dorsal side of patient
  • 100-120 compressions per min
  • compress 50%-2/3 of width/depth of thorax
  • should feel femoral pulse for each compression
  • allow full elastic recoil between compressions
21
Q

cardiac pump

A
  • cats and small dogs
  • compression of thorax directly over heart
22
Q

thoracic pump

A
  • medium to large breed dogs
  • compression of widest part of thorax
  • caudal thorax or over xiphysternum
23
Q

inter-thoracic cardiac compressions

A
  • large breed dogs
  • at thoracotomy
  • when external compressions are ineffective
24
Q

IPPV

A
  • intermittent positive pressure ventilation
  • 20 breaths pm
  • start as soon as resp arrest is suspected
  • inflate thorax the normal amount for each patient
25
Q

CPCR cycle

A
  • begin basic life support (ABCs)
    • assess for airway obstruction, intubate, ventilate if not spontaneous, assess for HR and pulse, begin chest compressions
  • begin advanced life support
    • ECG, obtain access for drug therapy
