Breaking the Myths: Defibrillation and the Next 5 Years of Resuscitation with Michael Heller

Today on the Pre-Hospital Care Podcast, we’re diving into one of
the most critical and often misunderstood areas of pre-hospital
care: defibrillation and the future of cardiac arrest management.
We’re all familiar with the mantra of “shock early,” but how much
of what we believe about defibrillation is grounded in evidence,
and how much is myth carried forward through tradition and
training?


To help us separate fact from fiction, I’m joined by Michael
Heller, Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer for Corpuls, a
company at the forefront of resuscitation technology. Michael
brings a unique perspective, not just from the engineering and
innovation side, but also from working closely with clinicians
worldwide to understand what truly makes a difference at the
roadside.


In this conversation, we’ll explore the enduring myths of
defibrillation, the technologies shaping the next generation of
devices, and how data, AI, and post–cardiac arrest strategies
could redefine survival over the next five years. This is about
challenging assumptions, sharpening our practice, and looking
ahead to what’s possible in saving lives. You can find out more
