You might not want to have a

What was the aim of our initiative?
Improve the survival of OHCA patients from 16% to ≥ 30%
Reduce the time from CPR to ECMO flow from 75 minutes to 60 minutes

What assumptions did we make, and how did they pan out?
What am I most proud of?
The biggest challenge?
Investment does not
end once the process
is put into place
When you don’t have any money, Let your imagination run wild!
What are we struggling with?
