Abstract

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and oxygen therapy are often necessary procedures done in veterinary practice. There are variations in CPR technique, especially in cardiac life support. Oxygen therapy can be an important adjunctive therapy in emergency and critical care medicine. The techniques used for oxygen administration differ depending on the medical problem and the animal.
