The RECOVER initiative is most closely associated with which field?

• A. Veterinary Resuscitation
• B. Human Resuscitation
• C. Equine Resuscitation
• D. Small Animal Anesthesia

Answer: (A)

The RECOVER initiative is a veterinary resuscitation project. It stands for Reassessment Campaign on Veterinary Resuscitation, an international effort to study and standardize how CPR is performed in animals, with guidelines tailored to dogs, cats, and other species seen in veterinary practice. This work develops evidence-based recommendations for animal CPR—covering chest compressions, airway management, defibrillation, and drug use—adapted to animal physiology. It is not about human resuscitation, nor is it limited to a specific subset like equine resuscitation, or tied to small animal anesthesia.
