Attended my first out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as a volunteer responder in my community last night 🏃‍♂️A total of five responders with three AED's arrived before the ambulance 🚑 Make a difference in your community! Sign up at hjerteløber.dk.

🚨🚨🚨 Impact of #GoodSAM on Cardiac Arrest Outcomes in Victoria published in #MJA Survival to discharge was 37% more likely (risk-adjusted) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest if smartphone-activated volunteer responders arrived before #EMS. ‼️ Read on: doi.org/10.5694/mja2.5…

👏👏👏 Huge thanks to @AmbulanceVic's Resuscitation Coordinator, @BelDel_, and our Danish colleague, @mads_tofte for leading this work, and to our @AmbulanceVic colleagues responsible for the GoodSAM program who grow the initiative from strength to strength every year!

This was a tough one. 40000 abstracts screened. Limited evidence for the use of calcium for Hyperkalaemia Pharmacological Interventions for the Acute Treatment of Hyperkalaemia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis - Resuscitation resuscitationjournal.com/article/S0300-… @LarsWAndersen1

💯 agree with @cmaltahansen The road we should take is to train the general population from pre-schoolers to older population - the most OHCA happens at home, in the street, during football practice.. Integrated approach and EDUCATION and PREVENTION costs significantly less than eCPR - this is especially important in low/middle income countries where the cost is a big issue So let's try and invest in something way less expensive #ESCCongress #ESCCongress2024 @escardio @CVandenbriele @ACVCPresident @drdargaray @EchoSoliman @franciscojlk @rafavidalperez @KardiologieHH @AbdoKhoury00 @EuropSocEM @ERC_resus @HannahSchaubro1 @JaninePoss @ResusCouncilUK @UKSrbije @PragueICU @Ivan_Echocardio @GSoCPresident @AnastasiaSMihai

Live at #CAACongress24 with our superstar @AmbulanceVic @VACAR_AV team presenting our free papers on cardiac arrest, virtual telehealth, scene discharge and @GoodSamApp. What a privilege to work with these 🚑researcher leaders 🎉 @BelDel_ @emandrew1 @melanie_villani #emilymahony

Thank you, @Hjerteforening, for supporting our DanRUSH trial of hs-Tn measurement strategies in suspected MI with DKK 5,000,000 (USD >700,000) - we are incredibly grateful! @TorBiering @CTCPR_ @Kyhl_K @CopCard @RigsHeart @DocFakhri @mvaduganathan @DLBHATTMD @r_hasselbalch

NEW EPISODE OF THE LEAD! [Ep. 41] A Discussion of Association Between Number of Volunteer Responders and Interventions Before Ambulance Arrival for Cardiac Arrest 🎙️Host: @np_varghese 🎤Guests: @DrCheskes & Jason Grady, NRP Listen on #HRS365, #ApplePodcasts, #GooglePodcasts, or #Spotify > bit.ly/48bpxNn #EPeeps #medpod #podcast #CardioTwitter #EPTwitter #PodcastAndChill #cardiacarrest #suddencardiacarrest

Super fun episode highlighting amazing work by @mads_tofte @FolkeFredrik and the excellent team from Denmark on how important and impactful high functioning CR programs can be and their potential to save lives!

2/3 of public #OHCA occur in residential neighborhoods with less bystander intervention and lower survival. To improve survival for public OHCA patients, we must consider a broad array of settings in which public OHCA occurs. bit.ly/49aVmXG #JACC @AnneJuul_MD

Great and important presentations from The Lancet Commission on Sudden Cardiac Death 💔 at ERC in Barcelona highlightning the known 🤔and unknowns 🤷 regarding Cardiac arrest prevention, treatment and rehabilitation! @TheLancet @ERC_resus @Ilcor_org @EloiMarijon @bowinkel75

@AnneJuul_MD doing an amazing presentation 🗣️at the @ERC_resus ‘Best of the Best Oral Abstracts’ 🥇at ERC Barcelona, identifying 🔍 social housing as optimal targets 🎯 for AED ⚡️and CPR 💔 interventions!! @Ilcor_org @ERC_resus @CopCard @akutberedskabet @trygfonden

Do we overloook public #OHCAs in residential neighborhoods? In this @JACCJournals study, we found 2/3 of public OHCA in residential neighborhoods with ⬇️ CPR, ⬇️ defibrillation, and ⬇️ survival. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S07… @cmaltahansen @FolkeFredrik @krychtiukmd @trygfonden

Happy to participate at the Drone AED Delivery Symposium in Stockholm discussing novel solutions for early defibrillation worldwide. Great talks from leading experts!! @LouiseKollander @akutberedskabet @CopCard

Calling all researchers worldwide! 🌎🔬 Share your first article as the lead author and relive the memories! This was my first article after specializing in anesthesia and intensive care in 2002. I dedicate this article to my dear professor Luciano Signore, who passed away some years ago 💜 Tag your friends to join the challenge. I nominate the following friends to share their stories, as I attempt to reach researchers from all around the world: @BenjaminAbella @Ziad_Nehme1 @ElenaG_Bignami @mads_tofte @johannes_wittig @giuristagno @neumar_robert @fabio_taccone @VixMonnelly @marco_vergano @KondoNakagawa @quincy516 @perkins_gd @petermorley @FolkeFredrik @Dr_JBray @HansvanSchuppen @kmonsieurs @ANDYL0CKEY @jas_soar @tscquizzato @LorenzoGamberi6 📚🎉 #ScienceTwitter #ResearchCommunity

#CCR23: In the DEVICE trial, the use of video laryngoscopy in critically ill patients undergoing intubation in the ED or ICU resulted in a higher incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt than direct laryngoscopy. nej.md/43H2t79

🫀The outcome after out-of-hospital #CardiacArrest is worse for Danes living in rural areas compared with urban areas: ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA… Exciting new data published in @JAHA_AHA from the Danish #Cardiac Arrest Registry 🇩🇰

Attending OHCA may have mental effects on volunteer responders (VR). In Denmark, all VR have the opportunity to receive a follow-up conversion. Our program systematically enables VR to report need for follow-up ❤️‍🩹 @cmaltahansen @sawyer_kn @trygfonden authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S26…

Also thank you to both @ffsemeraro, @JacobTfelt, and Jacob Eifer Møller for taking your time to assess my work. I really enjoyed our scientific discussion! Finally also thank you to @ThomasGrethe and @trygfonden for financing both my research and our Volunteer Reponder Program!

Friday was great! I defended my PhD in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and volunteer responder activation. Thank you for three years of the best mentorship @FolkeFredrik and @cmaltahansen, I look forward to many more 🙏
