 Dog Artificial Respiration and Heart Massage
Artificial respiration is an emergency procedure used to assist breathing in an unconscious dog.
Mouth-to-nose forced respiration is used when the compression technique is ineffective, or when the chest is punctured (pneumothorax).
The chest compression technique consists of applying force to the chest wall, which pushes air out and allows the elastic recoil of the chest to draw air back in.
