RECOVER™ Rescuer CPR

2020 SVECCS RECOVER™ Rescuer CPR Certification

This year, SVECCS is excited to offer RECOVER™ Rescuer CPR certification for veterinary students, veterinarians, and technicians through the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care at Texas A&M University. The Reassessment Campaign on Veterinary Resuscitation (RECOVER) initiative developed and disseminated the first true evidence-based veterinary cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines and created these courses. The classes will be held on August 29th 2020, with Basic Life Support (BLS) in the morning, followed by Advanced Life Support (ALS) in the afternoon. This is a packaged deal and courses cannot be purchased individually. Once you have purchased your BLS/ALS package, it is NON-REFUNDABLE. To learn more about RECOVER, please visit their website https://recoverinitiative.org/.

In order to become rescuer certified for BSL & ALS, you must complete the online BLS & ALS courses before completing the hands-on CPR training labs. We are offering a convenient package that includes the registration fee for both the BSL & ASL hands-on laboratories, the certificate fee, and food (breakfast & lunch) the day of the lab. Remember, you must complete the online course prior to the laboratory in order to qualify for certification. These courses are offered at major conventions, like IVECCS and CE conferences every year. Our classes are over $100 cheaper than the average courses offered at major conventions. Don’t miss this great opportunity!

Our first group of students and doctors to get RECOVER CPR BLS/ALS certified!

“The clinicians were amazing! I can’t thank them enough for taking time out of their busy schedules to share their knowledge with us on a topic that I feel like doesn’t get enough discussion and practice time in our current curriculum. I liked working in teams and actually performing each task as though a code was occurring. While doing the modules prior to the lab was beneficial, actually putting the knowledge into practice made all the difference in fully understanding and comprehending the information. I appreciated the feedback period where each person could ask questions or make comments on what was observed at any point of the lab.” – Kimery Hankins, 3VM

During the Wetlab students worked with some of the best board certified criticalist and emergency vets as well as the most skilled technicians at the school.  Past wetlabs, students are given the opportunity to practice doing tracheostomies, abdominocentestis, and chest tube placements.  Students will also gain the experience of placing central lines, intraosseous catheters, urinary catheters and naso-gastric tubes, as well as various positions for placing endotracheal tubes in various emergency situations.
