Advancing Cardiac Arrest Care, SPEAR; Roadside to Resus

This podcast explores advanced techniques in cardiac arrest management, focusing on the SPEAR course and endovascular resuscitation. It highlights the importance of invasive blood pressure monitoring for accurate physiological assessment, contrasting it with the limitations of non-invasive methods, particularly in hypotensive or hypertensive states. The discussion covers the potential of REBOA to improve coronary perfusion and cerebral blood flow during CPR, referencing the ongoing ERICA trial. The podcast also addresses practical considerations for implementing these complex interventions, including the need for specialized training, optimized team roles, and efficient workflow to minimize scene time.
