What is the RECOVER Initiative?

Reassessment Campaign on Veterinary Resuscitation (RECOVER)

The initiative was spearheaded with the following goals:

  1. To facilitate an evidence review of the current literature on veterinary cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

  2. To derive a draft set of clinical guidelines for veterinary CPR based on the evidence review

  3. To collate and incorporate feedback from the veterinary community at large and develop a set of consensus CPR guidelines

  4. To widely disseminate these consensus, evidence-based veterinary CPR guidelines

Through the efforts of over 100 veterinary specialists, an evidence-based veterinary CPR guideline was created and made available. The RECOVER initiative directs its efforts at regularly updating the clinical guideline, providing effective training and certification in a standardized method of performing veterinary CPR, and guiding research in the area of veterinary resuscitation.
