In unresponsive, apneic dogs and cats, the use of ECG to support a diagnosis of CPA before initiating CPR is not recommended.

In dogs and cats at risk of CPA, the use of continuous Doppler monitoring of peripheral arterial blood flow for early identification of CPA is reasonable.

Palpation of the pulse for detection of ROSC during inter-cycle pauses in CPR is reasonable, but should not delay resumption of chest compressions.

Interruption of chest compressions specifically to palpate the pulse or check the ECG is not recommended.

The use of VF waveform analysis in dogs and cats with CPA may be considered, with coarse VF potentially associated with a better prognosis for ROSC than fine VF.

The use of ETCO2 monitoring as a measure of efficacy of CPR in conditions of consistent minute ventilation is reasonable.

The use of ETCO2 monitoring during CPR is recommended as an early indicator of ROSC.

The use of ETCO2 monitoring as an adjunct measure with direct visualization, auscultation, or observation of chest excursions in dogs and cats with CPA to verify correct ET tube placement is reasonable.

The use of ETCO2 alone for verification of correct ET tube placement in dogs and cats with CPA is not recommended.

The immediate post-intubation ETCO2 should not be used for diagnosis of CPA in dogs and cats.

In intubated and ventilated dogs and cats, the use of ETCO2 is recommended in patients at risk of CPA.

For dogs and cats with ROSC after cardiac arrest (P) , does the use of intensive continuous monitoring (e.g. continuous ECG, blood pressure, temperature, pulse oximeter, ± ETCO2) (I) versus standard intermittent monitoring (C) improve outcome (e.g. survival)?

In dogs and cats with cardiac arrest (P), does the use of a technique for prediction of the likelihood of success of defibrillation (analysis of VF, etc) (I) compared with standard resuscitation (without such prediction) (C), improve outcomes (eg. successful defibrillation, ROSC, survival) (O)?
