Saw a video of a squirrel getting rescued via CPR and it made me wonder… If CPR on humans has a specific “cadence” to it that is said to be best, would CPR be more efficient on an animal if the cadence was much faster (to match their normally quicker heartrate)? Thanks!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but chest compressions are intended to mimic a heart beat while the heart itself has stopped. So yeah, performing chest compressions too slowly would be ineffective.
