Rethinking resuscitation decisions: R, DNR or clinician discretion?

Here we have two amazing educators in Bobbi Conner DACVECC and Alex Blutinger DACVECC to discuss CPR orders, client presence in CPR events and tactics to help navigate these situations.

How do you decide when to stop, or if we should even have started?!

The studies we covered:

Evaluation of Client Communication Regarding Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Do-Not-Resuscitate Orders: A Survey Study https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/vec.70064

Evaluation of a Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Video Decision Aid for Pet Owners https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/vec.70070

Outcome prediction in dogs admitted through the emergency room: Accuracy of staff prediction and comparison with an illness severity stratification system for hospitalized dogs https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/vec.13350
