During CPCR of a small dog, what is the name of the model thought to explain the pumping action of blood through the heart?
  1. Thoracic pump
  2. Cardiac pump

  4. Effusion pump
Explanation
Answer: B - During CPCR of a small dog, the name of the model thought to explain the pumping action of blood through the heart is the cardiac pump.
