Held a very successful CIHR/TOHAMO-funded all-day planning meeting yesterday at the Ottawa Paramedic Service. Aiming to develop an AI solution to improve the accuracy and speed with which 9-1-1 communication officers can recognize cardiac arrest and initiate CPR instructions.
Another paper in Resuscitation! • Delayed care from COVID-19 Code Blue protocol • CPR quality was good, peri-shock pauses longer • Only few positive cases known at the time of IHCA • Pandemic associated with poorer survival authors.elsevier.com/a/1inC514RWGRT…
Published electronically today! AED use by nurses during in-hospital cardiac arrest decreases time to first shock and improves survival for victims in VF/VT, especially following implementation of a theory-based educational video. facebook.com/10000352207293…
60,000 prehospital cardiac arrests happen each year in Canada! New data reveals the number is significantly higher than previously estimated. #BeatCardiacArrest issuu.com/heartandstroke… @emergmedottawa @CanROCResearch @OttawaHospital @uOttawaMedia @heartandstroke
Touching tribute to Dr Justin Maloney @OttawaHospital. Pioneer of Emergency Medicine & prehospital care in Canada. A giant. We renamed the hallway between ambulance offload and Resus “Maloney Way”. @emergmedottawa
