'Focused ultrasound in out-of- hospital cardiac arrest by Advanced Paramedics', with Nick Brown

In this session we will examine the recently published in the
Journal of Paramedic Practice on 'Focused ultrasound in out-of-
hospital cardiac arrest by Advanced Paramedics'.
To do this I have Advanced Paramedic Practitioner, author and
lecturer Nick Brown. 


In the episode we discuss why ultrasound is used, what device is
used and what APPs use it for. We also discuss the primary and
secondary outcomes of the study, the population the study
focusses on (OHCA) and the problem/question they are seeking to
address (cardiac arrest management/termination). We also explore
the study's methodology, the differentiation of results, the
conclusion, the clinical relevance to practice, what Nick took
from performing the audit and the salient take home messages from
the study.
