Cardiopulmonary Cerebral Resuscitation (CPCR) in Reptiles

Reptile resuscitation requires much greater adaptation of conventional CPR principles because temperature, metabolism, anatomy and hypoxia tolerance differ markedly from mammals. This session explores how RECOVER concepts can be applied critically to reptiles, including recognition of arrest, ventilation, cardiovascular support, species-specific compression techniques in lizards, snakes and chelonians, monitoring, emergency drugs, reversible causes and post-arrest care.
