On Friday 28 May at 14:00, Kasper Glerup Lauridsen defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Improving outcomes from in-hospital cardiac arrest: Studies on cardiac arrest teams".

Each year, more than 2.000 Danes suffer from an in-hospital cardiac arrest. When compared with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, our knowledge on in-hospital cardiac arrest is limited. Less than 1 out of three patients are alive after 30 days and survival depends on the team effort by the cardiac arrest team.

This PhD project investigated how cardiac arrest teams are organized, identified barriers and facilitators for in-hospital resuscitation as perceived by the cardiac arrest team members, and developed a novel concept of standardized communication that may improve the resuscitation quality when compared to current practice.

The summary is written by the PhD student.    

The defence is public and takes place online. Please read the attached press release for more information.
