AbstractCardiopulmonary arrest (CPA), the acute cessation of ventilation and systemic perfusion, leads to discontinuation of tissue oxygen delivery and death if not quickly reversed. Reported resuscitation rates suggest that the heart can be restarted in 40% to 50% of dogs and cats treated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, approximately 80% of these animals do not survive to hospital discharge. To minimize mortality due to CPA a broad strategy is required including preparedness and prevention measures, basic and advanced life support as well as post-cardiac arrest care. This article summarizes the current guidelines on the treatment of small animals with CPA..
