Mastering Veterinary CPR: Evidence-Based Algorithms for Clinical Practice is a comprehensive, hands-on course designed for veterinary professionals who need to execute high-quality resuscitation with confidence. Built around the 2024 RECOVER guidelines, this program translates the latest evidence into clear, repeatable actions for dogs and cats—from rapid recognition of cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) and Basic Life Support (BLS) technique, to Advanced Life Support (ALS), defibrillation, capnography interpretation, and decisive post-ROSC care. You’ll move beyond memorizing steps to understanding why each intervention matters, how to minimize interruptions, and how to coordinate as an efficient team under pressure. Through structured modules, interactive practice elements (like Pixel Quest protocol reviews and ALS crossword challenges), and targeted knowledge checks, you’ll learn to apply algorithm-driven care, read rhythms quickly, optimize compression quality, and use ETCO2 to guide performance and detect ROSC. Whether you’re a small animal clinician, emergency/ICU team member, or technician, you’ll gain immediate, practical skills that improve outcomes at the point of care. Finish with a clear mental model, streamlined checklists, and a ready-to-deploy toolkit that aligns with current best practices—so your next code run is faster, safer, and more effective.

            <p>The 2024 RECOVER Guidelines represent a critical evolution in the standard of care for small animal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This course provides an in-depth analysis of the monitoring recommendations established by these guidelines, focusing on the evidence levels and knowledge gaps that currently define veterinary emergency and critical care. By examining the methodology behind these updates, veterinary professionals can better contextualize clinical decision-making during high-stakes resuscitation efforts. The curriculum emphasizes the transition from subjective assessment to objective, data-driven monitoring to improve the likelihood of achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).</p>

<p>Central to this advanced training is the application of capnography and invasive hemodynamic monitoring. Participants will evaluate the use of end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) not only for confirming tracheal intubation but as a real-time indicator of pulmonary blood flow and CPR quality. Furthermore, the course critiques traditional methods such as pulse palpation while advocating for the interpretation of direct arterial blood pressure waveforms to guide compression technique and vasopressor therapy. Beyond immediate resuscitation, the modules address the metabolic complexities of the peri-arrest period, including the management of electrolyte derangements, lactate trends, and glucose fluctuations.</p>

<p>Effective care extends beyond the initial arrest into the management of patients at high risk for cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) and those in the post-ROSC phase. This course outlines rigorous protocols for ECG, pulse oximetry, and blood pressure monitoring to identify precursor arrhythmias and respiratory deterioration before an arrest occurs. Additionally, the curriculum addresses the long-term management of post-cardiac arrest syndrome, specifically focusing on the serial monitoring of creatinine to predict and manage acute kidney injury. This comprehensive approach ensures that veterinary teams are equipped to provide sophisticated, multimodal care throughout the entire continuum of resuscitation and recovery.</p>

Advance your resuscitation practice with a course purpose-built for veterinarians and critical care teams working with small animals. Advanced Monitoring for Resuscitation and Post-Cardiac Arrest Care translates the 2024 RECOVER Monitoring Guidelines into clear, actionable workflows you can deploy during high-stakes moments—before, during, and after cardiopulmonary arrest. From confirming airway placement with capnography to optimizing chest compressions using ETCO₂ and arterial pressure targets, you’ll learn how to align monitoring data with real-time clinical decisions that improve the likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and long-term outcomes. The curriculum blends guideline interpretation, practical waveform analysis, and case-driven strategy across capnography, invasive arterial blood pressure, ECG, pulse oximetry, and key metabolic markers including lactate, glucose, electrolytes, and creatinine. You’ll also explore when and how to prioritize monitoring in at-risk patients, how to recognize deterioration early, and how to individualize hemodynamic and metabolic goals after ROSC. Interactive knowledge checks and a gamified hemodynamics review solidify retention and speed recognition in the heat of a code. By the end, you’ll be able to set evidence-aligned targets, troubleshoot low-perfusion limitations, and integrate multimodal data to guide compressions, ventilation, drug timing, and post-arrest care—confidently and consistently.

            <p>The management of cardiopulmonary arrest in veterinary patients requires a sophisticated synthesis of rapid clinical assessment and the application of evidence-based interventions. As the field of veterinary emergency and critical care evolves, the transition from basic life support to advanced life support (ALS) demands a rigorous understanding of the physiological mechanisms underlying resuscitation. This course is designed to provide veterinary professionals with a comprehensive framework for navigating the complexities of ALS, moving beyond rote memorization to a deep, evidence-based mastery of current clinical guidelines. By focusing on the latest data and the RECOVER initiative standards, practitioners can refine their approach to high-stakes emergency scenarios, ensuring that every intervention—from drug administration to electrical therapy—is optimized for the highest probability of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).</p>

<p>Throughout this curriculum, participants will engage with critical topics including the efficacy of various vascular access routes, the strategic use of reversal agents, and the nuanced administration of vasopressors and anticholinergics for non-shockable rhythms. The course further explores the technical intricacies of defibrillation, comparing monophasic and biphasic waveforms and addressing the management of refractory shockable rhythms. Beyond standard pharmacological protocols, the modules will scrutinize the role of adjunctive therapies such as fluid resuscitation, calcium administration, and sodium bicarbonate, while also defining the specific indications for invasive procedures like open-chest CPR. This systematic approach ensures that veterinary professionals are equipped to make rapid, informed decisions that minimize iatrogenic harm and maximize the potential for successful patient recovery in the emergency setting.</p>
