Student Veterinary Nurses - Confidence and Knowledge in Performing CPR

kanga2004

Hello,
I am in my final year studying Veterinary Nursing, and I am currently completing my dissertation evaluating student veterinary nurses' knowledge and confidence in performing CPR.
It would be great if anyone has a few minutes to spare to complete or share this questionnaire to those eligible, it should take no longer than 10 minutes and is anonymous. Participants must be current SVNs with experience working in a small animal practice in the UK.
Thank you

Less than six percent of dogs and cats receiving CPR survive; being prepared for these events can increase the chances of survival in dogs and cats. However, traumatic and emergency cases cannot be predicted, therefore this requires the clinic and staff to be prepared for any emergency that may come through the doors. Emergency situations can vary greatly in their cause, symptoms, treatment and outcome. However, the fundamentals of performing CPR are the same, with the aim to provide the patient with the best chance of survival, whilst ensuring the staff are comfortable, confident and competent in providing this vital care.

It's very important that veterinary nurses are aware of how to do CPR especially if the veterinary surgeon not around.

RVN ( BSC) BUT I went on to do adult nursing AF completing my veterinary nursing degree just because I always want to do adult nursing but I love animals as well.
