This week we are joined by ED Physician and Senior Scientist, Dr. Christian Vaillancourt! Dr. Vaillancourt is recognized for his world-renowned pre-hospital and cardiac arrest care research. He tells us about the biggest barriers in achieving a fast response to cardiac arrest, as well as the 3 key determinants for whether someone needs CPR. We chat about the roles of drones and AI technologies in pre-hospital settings (woah), as well as how FitBit's and Apple Watches play a role in saving lives. We touch on Dr. Vaillancourt's athletic success as a duathlete and triathlete competitor, who has represented Canada at a couple of World Championships. And, lastly, we touch on his experience with COVID as an ED Physician. Enjoy!
