CONGRESS

"Let's be CPReady" is the name of the 8th edition of the RoVECCS congress. This year’s theme is all about getting the knowledge and practical skills for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in small animals. Therefore, we offer two practical workshops, as well as lectures to cover basic and advanced life support, how to introduce CPR training and how to care for the post-ROSC patient.

However, because the best CPR is avoided CPR, we will also cover subjects on how to care for the extremely critical patients, such as fluid therapy, blood gas analysis, transfusion therapy, cardiac patients, treating pneumothorax and even pit-viper snake envenomation!

We also have an exciting surprise for our participants! We will touch on a novel and interesting subject: cardiac surgery and use of bypass machine in dogs and HUMANS!

We are very excited to finally meet in person again! We will therefore return to Caro Hotel in Bucharest, the place where we acquired such beautiful memories. The workshops will be held on 31.03.2023, and the conference will be held over 2 days (the 1 st and 2 nd of April) , with lectures held by 4 ECC diplomates, an Associate Professor and a human cardiovascular surgeon. We can’t wait to see you then!
