INTERACTIVE LABS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21
8:00 AM - 4:00 PM | ROOM 217 B & 217 C Veterinary CPR Certification/RECOVER Rescuer Basic and Advanced Life Support Justin Heinz, DVM, DACVECC; Michelle Hervey, BS, LVT, CFVP; Paula Plummer, LVT, VTS(ECC, SAIM, CP-fe); Courtney Waxman, MS, CVT, RVT, VTS (ECC); Ken Yagi, MS, RVT, VTS (ECC), (SAIM) How do we best treat animals in cardiopulmonary arrest? An evidence-based veterinary CPR guideline published by the RECOVER Initiative in 2012 aimed at determining how to maximize the chances of patient survival led to the official veterinary CPR certification process approved by the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care. This course will equip participants with concepts and techniques in Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) reinforced through scenario- based simulations. The certification process consists of an online course provided by the RECOVER website that is completed and followed by onsite training at the conference. Successful completion of this course grants participants with certification as a RECOVER BLS Rescuer and a RECOVER ALS Rescuer. Human medical professionals certify in human CPR. Veterinary medical professionals should certify themselves in veterinary CPR!

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM | ROOM 217 B Cooperative Care and Empathetic Handling for the General Practice Technician Rachel Lees, LVMT, KPA CTP, VTS (Behavior), FFCP (Veterinary) Do you know the difference of needs vs wants when needing to perform a physical examination on a fracious patient? Do you feel comfortable "pushing through" these procedures if something is needed? Are you considering the animal's mental welfare during these situations? Attendees of this lab will have 2 hours of lecture to review body language and obtain insight from a technician who has over 10 years of clinical practice in veterinary medicine while also learning some training basics to teach cooperative care. After the lecture portion, the attendees will practice empathetic handling and cooperative care techniques for the remainder of the lab. Attendees will learn how to handle these patients, how to discuss and educate patient needs with clients and will also learn the basics of Clicker Training so they can begin to teach and coach clients how to teach long-term cooperative care techniques. This can be a game changer for practices and can be a new source of revenue for any general practice.
