Pet CPR

When an animal (or human) has absolutly no heart rhythm (asysole) CPR alone will NOT bring them back to life. They will need defibrilation and even then chances of restoring a normal heart beat (sinus rhythm) after 5 minutes is pretty much nothing.

yup, asystole is pretty much lights out in humans, Im an EMT not a pet emt though, but i'd gather the heart is relatively the same.

Actually this is completely wrong. First its asystole not asysole.

If someone is asystole a defibrillator is useless. The only way to bring someone back from asystole is through CPR and/or drugs. The Purpose of a defibrillator is basically if someone is in say Ventricular fibrillation it will reset their heart rhythm, in an attempt to return to a sinus/normal rhythm.

Please don't give medical advice if you don't know what you are talking about.

God forbid I spell something wrong. I think most people knew I ment ASYSTOLE.

I am aware Asystole (& other pulseless rhy.'s) are non-shockable and that you need Epi/Atropine to try to bring the patient into a cardiac rhythm, most likly V-Fib, which is then shockable with the D-Fib.

I understand what I said was unclear, however it wasn't "completely wrong". I am just trying to tell people that doing CPR on their dead dog, does not mean the dog will come to back to life and start running around

will this work on my mom?

Will that work on Guinea Pig?

lol XD

trust me a dog mouth is cleaner than a human mouth...

and was the dog able to return to a fully healthy life??
