When performing CPR on an animal in CPA, the capnograph indicates a sudden rise in ETCO2, indicating
Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC)
The high osmolality of this type of fluid will cause a shift of fluid from the interstitium to the intravascular space, promoting rapid expansion of vascular volume
Hypertonic fluids
Absence of palpable pulse with a perfusing heart rhythm
Pulse deficit
The systemic activation of inflammation that eventually leads to organ failure in critically ill patients
SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome)
When placing a nasal O2 cannula, the VT should measure to what for placement
medial canthus of the eye

Epinephrine, vasopressin, atropine
Correction of dehydration, replace ongoing losses and maintain daily fluid requirements is what phase of fluid therapy?
Replacement
Arching of the neck and back, sometimes see with decerebrate postures in a neurologic injury
Opisthotonos
GDV in a dog can impair venous return of the blood from the abdomen resulting in this type of shock
Obstructive
Indications for this type of IV catheterization include critical illness, administration of hyperosmolar fluids, parenteral nutrition and serial blood sampling
Central Venous Access
Drug to treat cerebral edema
