Critical Care Teams (CCT) with Johannes von Vopelius-Feldt

In this interview I interview Johannes von Vopelius-Feldt,
Johannes is an emergency physician currently working in South
West England. He has written and undertaken extensive research
into the utility and demographics of critical care teams. He has
also empirically examined the impact of critical care within
certain patient presentations to examine the benefit that these
teams can bring. 


In the conversation we examine; the overall proven benefit of
critical care versus standard care within pre-hospital care. We
also examine skill mix versus intervention, intervention versus
outcome, the wider utility to critical care outside of cardiac
arrest and some of the prospective studies which may benefit
transparency into the usefulness of CCTs. We also examine the
shift in mindsets and underlying concepts that are now well known
and accepted around human factors and mitigation strategies
compared to 10 years ago. 


Johannes' research can be found below - please enjoy this
conversation with an insightful and engaging guest as he brings
an inquisitive and research based perspective to the domain of
critical care.
