Different degree of pressure should be applied to chest region to keep the blood pumping to the important parts of the body.

They carried the pet outdoors, where they found its owner crying hysterically for her beloved pet. Firefighters opened an oxygen tank for the cat to breathe in the life-giving gas. One of the rescuers pumped the feline's chest for some time before the cat finally came back to life.
The owner left the scene pressing the shocked, but very much alive cat close to her chest.
For Those Who Are Unaware Of What A CPR Is
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a set of actions that should be done if a person stops breathing, or if their heart stops. The goal of CPR is to force blood and oxygen to keep flowing through the body. Every part of the body needs blood and oxygen to survive. CPR does not start a person's heart again.
However, it can keep pushing blood and oxygen around the body long enough that sometimes, it can keep the body from getting damaged by not having enough oxygen.
Because Just The Knowledge Of Some Basic Actions Could Save Some Poor Soul
It's far better to do something than to do nothing at all if you're fearful that your knowledge or abilities aren't 100 percent complete. Remember, the difference between your doing something and doing nothing could be someone's life.
Lack Of Knowledge And Equipments Cost A Significant Amount Of Animal Lives 40,000/Year If You Believe The Statistics
An estimated 40,000 pets die each year in fires, most succumbing to smoke inhalation. In many instances, emergency responders are not equipped to fully assist these animals because they lack specially designed pet oxygen masks and training. (11.1)
Follow These Steps To Perform CPR On A Pet, While You Wait For The Help
- Perform 100 to 120 chest compressions per minute of one-third to one-half of the chest width, with the animal lying on its side.
- Ventilate intubated dogs and cats at a rate of 10 breaths per minute. For mouth-to-snout ventilation, maintain a compression-to-ventilation ratio of 30-2.
- Perform CPR in 2-minute cycles, switching the person performing the compressions with each cycle.
- Administer vasopressors every 3 to 5 minutes during CPR.
