In dogs and cats with ROSC after cardiac arrest (P), does normocapnia (+/- via PPV) (I) compared to hyper- or hypocapnia (C), result in improved outcome (O) (survival to discharge neurological function)?

In dogs and cats with ROSC (P), does the institution of mild hypertension via the use of any particular cardio-active drug/vasopressor (I) compared to standard care (C), result in improved outcome (O) (survival to discharge neurological function)?

In dogs and cats with ROSC that are hypotensive (P), does the use of any particular cardio-active drug/vasopressor (I) compared to standard care (C), result in improved outcome (O) (survival to discharge neurological function)?

Post-resuscitation monitoring of glucose, body temperature, and blood lactate may be considered.

Minimum post-resuscitation monitoring should include continuous ECG, intermittent arterial blood pressure monitoring, and assessment of oxygenation and ventilation.

Post-resuscitation monitoring should be sufficient to guide therapy appropriate for the patient's condition.

Post-resuscitation monitoring should be sufficient to detect impending re-occurrence of CPA.

In the case of CPA known or suspected to be due to underlying electrolyte derangements, electrolytes should be monitored during CPR to inform therapeutic decisions.

Routine monitoring of electrolytes during CPR may be considered.

In dogs and cats with CPA, arterial blood gases are not recommended for evaluation of effectiveness of CPR.

In dogs and cats with CPA, the use of central/mixed venous blood gases to evaluate effectiveness of CPR may be considered.

The use of prompting or feedback devices to improve quality of CPR is reasonable.

Rapid assessment of the ECG to determine if VF has resolved immediately after defibrillation is reasonable, but should minimally delay resumption of chest compressions.

Evaluation of the ECG during inter-cycle pauses in CPR is recommended, but should not delay resumption of chest compressions.

In dogs and cats at risk of CPA, the use of continuous ECG monitoring for early identification of rhythm changes suggestive of CPA is reasonable.
