Great day of learning with @YorkshireAirAmb & colleagues, focusing on individualised, physiological targeted resuscitation, aimed at optimising survival & ROSC in the most challenging cases. Thanks to @EMDocJB & @HaldenHB & the rest of the faculty. OHCA management beyond #ALS

1/ 🧵 Contemporary evidence supports moving from EtCO₂ ventilation strategies toward precision guided ventilation using real-time PaCO₂. That’s the direction of travel for prehospital neurocritical care—and it’s how we tighten neuroprotection. I will explain in this thread
