Successful resuscitation and neurological monitoring of a dog with out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest due to pentobarbital overdose.

This is the first report to describe the full recovery and hospital discharge of a dog suffering OHCA and the first description of EEG findings in a clinical veterinary patient following cardiopulmonary arrest and successful resuscitation. Factors likely contributing to successful patient outcome and potential benefits and limitations of EEG in monitoring postcardiac arrest patients are discussed.
