CPR
During CPR, the person doing chest compressions should be changed this often
Every 2 minutes
The 3 major mechanisms of shock
- Hypovolemic shock
- Distributive shock
- Cardiogenic shock
This toxin can cause hypoglycemia in dogs
Xylitol
Those are the 4 systems to evaluate during the primary survey of the triage exam
- Respiratory system
- Cardiovascular system
- Neurologic system
- Urinary system
This is the ideal ventilation rate during CPR
10 breaths/minute (1 breath every 6 seconds)
These 2 factors determine cardiac output
- Heart rate
- Stroke volume
These are the 2 most common drugs used to induce emesis in cats
- Xylazine
- Dexmedetomidine
This disease can sometimes be mistaken for AKI
Hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's disease)
Other than an ECG, what type of monitoring is most useful during CPR
ETCO2
These 3 factors determine stroke volume
- Preload
- Afterload
- Contractility
For these 2 toxins, emesis induction might be of benefit even if ingestion occurred more than 1-2 hours prior
- Grapes and raisins
- Large amounts of chocolate
This is the maximum rate of potassium supplementation
0.5 mEq/kg/hr
This drug should be administered to any patient who received midazolam prior to cardiopulmonary arrest
Flumazenil
These are the 2 key physiologic factors that determine the mean arterial pressure (MAP)
- Cardiac output
- Systemic vascular resistance
This toxin can cause edema of the face and paws in cats, and give a brown coloration to the mucus membranes and blood
Acetaminophen
This is the typical radiographic distribution of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema
Caudo-dorsal
These are the 4 arrest rhythms
- Asystole
- Pulseless electrical activity (PEA)
- Pulseless ventricular tachycardia
- Ventricular fibrillation
- Hemoglobin
- Oxygen saturation (SaO2)
- PaO2
- Cardiac output
This can be used as an alternative to 4-MP (4-methylpyrazole) in the treatment of ethylene glycol ingestion
Ethanol
This is what can happen if chronic hypernatremia is corrected too quickly
Cerebral edema
