Rethinking Resuscitation: The Case for Physiology-Led Care with Mark Faulkner
About this episode
The episode discusses the use of physiological data to guide resuscitation efforts in cardiac arrest patients.
In today’s conversation, we move beyond the idea of simply recording numbers in the cardiac arrest patient. Instead, we explore how physiological data can be used to guide real-time resuscitation, helping clinicians understand what is happening inside the patient, how interventions are working, and where care should go next. Joining us as the guest to discuss this is Mark Faulkner. Mark is an Advanced Paramedic for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (HIOWAA), where he provides clinical leadership through his critical care practice. His work spans frontline practice, education, quality improvement, and the development of clinical pathways that shape the delivery of advanced pre-hospital care.
