First up @abbamamma discussing the size of the problem with dispatchers/HCPs not being exposed to high loads of cardiac arrest calls and seizure activity a confusing factor #RESUS20 
Seizures are hard for lay responders and HCPs to recognise. You can check a pulse as an indication of cardiac arrest but this is hard to teach lay rescuers. Plus arrhythmia may cause a seizure. How do we tackle this?? #RESUS20 #CPR
Can AI help our dispatchers when trying to multi task: taking the call, talking to lay rescuer, dispatching EMS #RESUS20 is protocol with specific training or level of medical training a better system?
Mike Smyth says Calling for help is the first and arguably most important step in the #chainofsurvival it relies on key words “consciousness” “breathing normally” #RESUS20 @ERC_resus apps such as @what3words @GoodSamApp and Pocket CPR are incredible resources everyone can use
Even trained providers when faced with a situation they’re not exposed to regularly can benefit from remote coaching of CPR using video link technology #RESUS20 #CPR @ERC_resus recognising the impact of stress is an important factor in providing good BLS
Can technology like smart watches/car incident systems give adequate reliable readings or are there too many false negatives? #CPR #RESUS20
AED discussion with @GiuseppeRist #RESUS20 they are safe for bystanders and should be easy to locate with apps such as @GoodSamApp
We need to overcome fear of AEDs. There are no data/reports of any damage from a bystander using an AED! Public engagement and teaching are key to increase the strength of this link in the chain #RESUS20
Lightening bolt signs and “to be used by trained professionals” are out dated and terms like “heart restarter” may make AEDs more public friendly #AED #RESUS20
Even kids can be safely taught to use an AED even if they aren’t strong enough to provide good quality chest compressions #RESUS20 #AED #CPR
Looking after our bystanders is very difficult and we don’t do it well. After they help there should be a contact number/someone to debrief with as resuscitation can be stressful and scary. Same with family witnesses. After care is important #bystander #CPR #RESUS20
Motivation of lay rescuers during Covid may decrease. Do we need to change our courses to include more caution about aerosolised risks? #RESUS20 #COVID19
Who will win: man or machine? In the age of AI should we still be relying on human training or let AI algorithms take over? #manormachine #RESUS20
