Billy and Joe sit down with Dr. Sheldon Cheskes at the Citizen CPR Cardiac Arrest Summit in San Diego to discuss advancements in treating patients in cardiac arrest to better outcomes.   About our guest: Dr. Cheskes’ research interests lie in the area of resuscitation science, particularly cardiac arrest resuscitation. He has a particular interest in CPR quality and its impact on cardiac arrest survival. He is also interested in systems of care for STEMI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) and prehospital airway management. He is a co-principal investigator of studies exploring the impact of early prehospital treatment of sepsis, and the principal investigator of a study assessing the impact of remote ischemic conditioning on clinical outcomes from STEMI. He is also the principal investigator of studies exploring innovative techniques in the treatment of refractory ventricular fibrillation and automated external defibrillator deployment for cardiac arrest. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32084567/ Contact Info for Dr. Cheskes  sheldon.cheskes@sunnybrook.ca

Billy and Joe sit down with founder/President of the Pulse Point Foundation and talk about the importance of optimizing the community to help save more lives.   About our Guest: Richard Price is President of the PulsePoint Foundation and is a member of the board. Price retired as the Fire Chief for the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District on December 31, 2012 after a distinguished thirty-three year fire service career. Price has a strong technical background and is well known for using technology to shape management processes and encourage civic engagement. In 2012, Chief Price was named “Citizen of the Year” in his hometown of Danville. Price is the 2012 American Heart Association “Heart of Gold” honoree and a 2013 JEMS “Innovator in EMS”. Price holds a Master’s Degree in Public Administration (MPA) from California State University Hayward. He is a California State Certified Fire Chief and is an internationally certified Chief Fire Officer (CFO). In 2009 Price completed the four- year Executive Fire Officer (EFO) Program at the National Fire Academy in Maryland. Price is a graduate of the Harvard University Senior Executives in State and Local Government Program at the Kennedy School of Government and the Strategic Management of Public Organizations Program at the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley. In 2011 Price graduated from the Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS) Executive Leaders Program at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. Only when Fire Chief Richard Price saw paramedics arrive did he realize how close he’d been to a cardiac arrest victim. He understood then how close you could be to someone in need while unaware of the emergency. Trained in CPR, with an AED in his car, he knew he likely could have made a difference in the outcome if he was made aware minutes earlier. He soon wondered if a modern, location-aware mobile phone linked to the local 9-1-1 dispatch center could alert CPR-trained citizens that were in the immediate vicinity and willing to help. These "citizen responders" might be just feet away, on the floor above or in the building next door, like Price. Close enough to make a difference, but far enough away to be unaware of the need for help. Within days of this event, Price's vision for the PulsePoint app was a point on the horizon. https://www.pulsepoint.org/foundation   ACR MoonShot Social media connect: https://www.facebook.com/acrmoonshot/ https://www.instagram.com/acrmoonshot/ https://www.threads.net/@acrmoonshot ACR Website: www.acrmoonshot.com
