The rates of return of spontaneous circulation, survival after CPR and discharge were 9.3, 2.3 and 1.2%, respectively. The mean success rate of CPR in animals included in this study was lower than those previously reported in dogs and cats. This might have been because of the challenges in effective chest compression, airway management and monitoring as well as establishment of intravenous catheterization route in exotic animals.}, pages = {1611--1614}, title = {Retrospective investigation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation outcome in 146 exotic animals}, volume = {79}, year = {2017} }
