The RECOVER CPR rescuer training is a hands-on workshop designed to teach veterinary professionals the latest evidence-based techniques for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on animals, based on the guidelines developed by the Reassessment Campaign on Veterinary Resuscitation (RECOVER) Initiative. This training includes practical practice on chest compressions, ventilation methods, rapid assessment of an unresponsive animal, and arrest simulations on a high-fidelity simulator. An online pre-course is required to participate in this lab. This lab is for DVMs and Technicians only.
