Abstract
Cardiac arrest in foals is generally secondary to other serious systemic diseases. Although it can often be anticipated, a clear plan is vital to success. Establishing cardiac output through chest compressions is the most important first step. This step should be followed by ventilation, drug therapy, identifying the nonperfusing cardiac rhythm, and following a preplanned treatment algorithm. Birth resuscitation requires special treatment considerations. The clinician should be prepared to perform resuscitation any time a birth is attended.
