HEMS Debrief – Cardiac Arrest Focus. #13, Dr Per Olave (PO) Berve – part 2

Welcome back, this is part two of Nat’s chat with Dr PO Berve from Norway. 

Continuing the conversation, Nat and PO discuss physiological markers of ALS effectiveness as well as broach how to most judiciously use adrenaline during cardiac arrest. Too, PO dives into how to use the end tidal capnogram as a marker of CPR effectiveness – and it is not how you may think!

Of course, this would not be a Sydney HEMS debrief episode without talking about eCPR and ventilation during CPR – the later being a favourite topic of Nat’s for sure.

As ever, thanks for listening and chat again soon. 

Great news: in addition to apple podcasts, we are now on Spotify!
