About this episode
The episode continues the discussion on cardiac arrest with the pre-hospital ECMO team from Paris, focusing on research and cultural challenges in adopting ECMO.
G'Day and welcome back to the HEMS debrief, cardiac arrest mini-series. This is part two of our conversation with the pre-hospital ECMO team from Paris, France. Following part one, in this part two we continue to chat with Alice and Lionel about their extended research in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest space, including but not limited to rapid cooling and ventilation strategies. Too, we discuss the cultural reluctance of systems to further adopt pre-hospital ECMO, as well as share some tips for those systems considering embarking on ECMO provision. As 2025 draws to a close, thank you sincerely for listening throughout 2025, and we cannot wait to talk again in 2026. We are delighted to be sponsored by Corpuls - delivering high-tech and innovative equipment for emergency and intensive care medicine for over 35 years.
