HEMS Debrief – Cardiac Arrest Focus. #5, Prof Laurie Morrison

Hello and welcome back.

As we continue to discuss cardiac arrest, this week we talk with Prof Laurie Morrison from Toronto about:

• How to integrate cardiac arrest research into an existing systems
• How to gather and interpret physiologic data during arrest – particularly ventilation data – and what to do with this data to optimise arrest care
• How to be a leader in this research field

Prof Morrison is an academic and Clinical Scientist in the Division of Emergency Medicine, Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. Her program of research focuses on the evaluation and implementation of time sensitive interventions in acute emergencies, including cardiac arrest.
