Reexamining the RECOVER Guidelines

Sean Smarick, VMD, DACVECC, director of collaboration for Compassion-First Pet Hospitals, hospital director for Allegheny Veterinary Emergency Trauma & Specialty hospital, talks about the RECOVER guidelines (Reassessment Campaign on Veterinary Resuscitation).

Over 100 veterinary specialists came together back in 2012 to answer several questions about veterinary CPR, and created a set of guidelines for taking care of patients during and after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Now, these specialists are looking forward to reexamining those guidelines in the next year or two.
