Renal acid–base regulation includes the reabsorption and regeneration of bicarbonate in the renal proximal tubule and collecting ducts and the process of ammoniagenesis. RTA occurs as a primary genetic disorder or secondary to disease conditions. Based on pathophysiology, RTA is classified as distal or type 1 RTA, proximal or type 2 RTA, type 3 RTA or carbonic anhydrase II mutation, and type 4 or hyperkalemic RTA. Fanconi syndrome comprises proximal RTA with additional defects in proximal tubular function. Extensive research elucidating the genetic basis of RTA in people exists. RTA is a genetic disorder in the Basenji breed of dogs, where the mutation is known. Secondary RTA in human and veterinary medicine is the sequela of diseases that include immune-mediated, toxic, and infectious causes. Diagnosis and characterization of RTA include the measurement of urine pH and the evaluation of renal handling of substances that should affect acid or bicarbonate excretion.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Commonality exists between human and veterinary medicine among the types of RTA. Many genetic defects causing primary RTA are identified in people, but those in companion animals other than in the Basenji are unknown. Critically ill veterinary patients are often admitted to the ICU for diseases associated with secondary RTA, or they may develop RTA while hospitalized. Recognition and treatment of RTA may reverse tubular dysfunction and promote recovery by correcting metabolic acidosis.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":17603,"journal":{"name":"Journal of veterinary emergency and critical care","volume":"34 4","pages":"325-355"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141636042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following 2 years in general practice in Dallas, Kari completed a residency in Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care at Tufts University from 1997 to 2000 and became board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care. Kari was a staff veterinarian at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital from 2000 to 2001 and then joined VCA Veterinary Referral Associates (VCA VRA) in Gaithersburg Maryland where she was the Intern and Resident Director and established an emergency practice before relocating to California in 2005. Kari served as Regional Medical Director from 2005 to 2007 with responsibility for 39 hospitals. In 2007, Kari became the medical director and intern director of VCA Sacramento Veterinary Referral Center (VCA SVRC), a position that she held until 2016 when she resumed a full-time role as Regional Medical Director with responsibility for 32 specialty and general practice hospitals in Northern California, Hawaii, and Colorado. Kari also was passionate about veterinary rehabilitation and became certified in animal rehabilitation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kari was a strong advocate for teaching throughout her career. As a first-year resident, she went out of her way to teach students, interns, and residents, and her contributions continued through her time at Angell Memorial, VCA VRA, and on the west coast. Kari was committed to nurturing the internship program in her home hospital of VCA SVRC as well as her other specialty hospitals in California, Colorado, and Hawaii. Kari also guided other specialists in her hospitals about their expectations to teach and mentor as a part of their work commitment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kari was deeply respected as a member of the VCA Regional Medical Director team.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She stood out as a competent and caring leader for her hospitals through being a person of “quiet strength.” She built trusting relationships with her hospital teams through frequent visits, always focusing on quality improvement and support no matter the size of the hospital. Leading and growing specialty hospitals can be challenging, but Kari's expertise and talent in this area were unparalleled.

We recommend against high-dose epinephrine even after prolonged CPR and suggest that atropine, when indicated, is used only once. In animals with a shockable rhythm in which initial defibrillation was unsuccessful, we recommend doubling the defibrillator dose once and suggest vasopressin (or epinephrine if vasopressin is not available), esmolol, lidocaine in dogs, and/or amiodarone in cats.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>These updated RECOVER ALS guidelines clarify the approach to refractory shockable rhythms and prolonged CPR.
