dorsal metatarsal

What is the treatment of choice for ventricular fibrillation?

Electrical defibrillation

The condition in which air becomes trapped between the body wall and the lung is called:

pneumothorax.

An abnormal P wave likely indicates:

right or left atrial enlargement

_______________ can be administered to abolish vagal tone if patients are symptomatic for bradycardia or to demonstrate a vagal origin to the rhythm.

Atropine

Dogs have a circulating blood volume of approximately

80-90 ml/kg

What is the ideal route of drug administration during CPCR in advanced life support?

Intravenous route with a jugular cutdown

What is the typical packed cell volume (PCV) cut-off where a whole blood transfusion should be considered for a patient that is actively bleeding?

PCV of 20% to 25%

The recommended maximum blood donation for cats is ______

5 to 10 mL/kg

Variation in the PR interval may occur with:

atrioventricular dissociation.

In hospitalized patients, quantifying water losses can be accomplished by using urine collection devices, or by weighing fluids (vomit, diarrhea, and urine) collected in absorbable pads. This is achieved by weighing the soiled pads and then subtracting the weight of the pads themselves. When taking this approac

ventricular repolarization

In the QRS complex, a tall R wave indicates:

left ventricular enlargement.

The average heart rate (HR) (in beats per minute) can be calculated by counting the number of:

QRS complexes in a predetermined time period and multiplying the number of complexes by a specific factor.

The recommended maximum blood donation for dogs is ___________ of its blood volume.

15-20%
