Episode 15 - ReSS Year in Review: Part 2 of 2

Drs. Robert Neumar and Cindy Hsu (both at University of Michigan) continue their discussion with Dr. Felipe Teran following the plenary “Year in Review” presentation by Dr. Neumar at the American Heart Association Resuscitation Science Symposium (ReSS) in Philadelphia. If you missed ReSS, this is your chance to hear summaries of the top studies that impacted cardiac arrest and post-arrest care in the past 12 months. Note that this is the second part of a two-part podcast: Check your earlier in this feed for Episode 14 contains the first half of this conversation.
