Jason O'Connell, clinical education officer at NEAS, speaks to specialist paramedic Luke Morrison about traumatic cardiac arrest. In their chat, Luke explains the difference between a traumatic cardiac arrest and a regular one, what his advice would be for crews dealing with this type of situation, and how he sees the specialist paramedic role expanding in the future.

What is RTB?

RTB (Return To Base) is a podcast from North East Ambulance Service. In each episode, operational colleagues from across the service speak to experts within their field to try and answer some of the big questions staff members have about working in the ambulance service, from day-to-day issues like mental health and the importance of speaking up, to big picture ideas like the future of paramedicine.
