HEMS Debrief - Cardiac Arrest Focus. #12, Dr Per Olave (PO) Berve - part 1

Hello, and welcome back to the Sydney HEMS debrief podcast. This is our focused series on cardiac arrest. Today we have part one of two in conversation with Dr PO Berve from Norway. PO is an Anaesthetist and Pre-Hospital physician from Oslo where he works on the physician response car of the region. PO's research has been absolutely fundamental to the modern understanding of CPR physiology and the haemodynamics of the arrested patient, and his work is rightly lauded as critical in the practice of physiology-guided resuscitation. Have you ever wondered what happens during one chest compression? In this episode, Nat deep-dives with PO into the physiology of the arrested patient – specifically what happens, or what should happen, during one perfect chest compression. It’s a fascinating conversation not to be missed by anyone with an interest in performing high quality resuscitation tailored to a specific patient. Part two coming soon! We are delighted to be sponsored by Corpuls - delivering high-tech and innovative equipment for emergency and intensive care medicine for over 35 years.
