Ressuscitação cérebro-cardio-respiratória em pequenos animais: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The causes of emergency situation and need of intensive care are diverse and very common. On the other hand, the professional veterinary medical training is still deficient when it comes to knowledge of emergency maneuvers and intensive care, confirming a lack of preparation on the part of professionals to deal with emergency calls. Cardiopulmonary arrest is a sudden cessation of functional ventilation and blood pumping through the heart and immediately after the recognition of emergency framework, should start maneuvers brain-cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which are divided into three cycles: basic support to life, enhanced support for long life and life support. The overall objective of this study was a literature review in small animals brain-cardiopulmonary resuscitation, with the specific objective approach through mechanical and therapeutic maneuvers performed in this clinical picture.
