Crash trolley. The drawers of the trolley are labelled to indicate the contents and the trolley should be regularly checked to ensure it is well stocked and the expiry dates of drugs have not been exceeded. An oxygen supply, breathing system and monitoring equipment should also be available. © 2024 British Small Animal Veterinary Association

CPR algorithm. Basic life support (BLS) is initiated once a patient is suspected to be in cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) and is continued until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is confirmed. Advanced life support (ALS) measures are instituted as soon as possible alongside BLS, which is only interrupted for short patient evaluations (electrocardiogram (ECG) and pulse). ETCO2 = end-tidal carbon dioxide; PEA = pulseless electrical activity; VF = ventricular fibrillation; VT = ventricular tachycardia.
