Target values during CPR ▾
Reference ranges shown for the selected species — analyser intervals still vary, use your own lab’s. Potassium above ~7 mmol/L, and severe acid–base, glucose or calcium derangements, are reversible causes — find and treat them.

110 /min
RECOVER: 100–120 per minute for dogs and cats. Fast is better than slow.
2:00
Standard is 2-minute cycles of uninterrupted compressions before you pause.
10s
Keep the pause under 10 seconds. Check pulse and rhythm, then get straight back on the chest.

During the pause, every cycle
- Check for a pulse — femoral artery, inside the back leg.
- Check for a heartbeat — feel the chest low and just behind the elbow.
- Check ETCO₂ & rhythm — aim above ~18 mmHg; a sudden rise can mean ROSC.
- Swap the compressor to fight fatigue. No pulse in 10s? Resume immediately.
A timing, metronome and dose-reference aid for trained responders, built on the 2024 RECOVER veterinary CPR guidelines. It does not diagnose, and it is not a substitute for hands-on training or emergency veterinary care. Verify every drug dose before giving. In a real arrest, get to a vet as fast as possible.
