Abstract
Outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in dogs are poor. This study investigated whether the use of an impedance threshold device has a beneficial effect on end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure as a surrogate perfusion parameter and return of spontaneous circulation during resuscitation in dogs after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Fourteen dogs were included in this study, seven of which were randomized to receive standard of care resuscitation and seven of which received standard of care resuscitation with an impedance threshold device in place. There was no statistical difference in the values for the mean initial, mean peak and mean time-averaged (average of all measurements during the event) end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressures between groups, nor was there an association between groups and whether or not return of spontaneous circulation was achieved. The proportion of dogs (both groups together) that were successfully resuscitated was comparable to previous publications, although the survival to discharge rate (0%) was below that reported by other authors. Although impedance threshold devices are simple to use, enrollment of subjects for prospective interventional clinical resuscitation research is challenging. Additional research is needed to determine if impedance threshold devices should be part of routine cardiopulmonary resuscitation in dogs.
