17 The big challange ACE was the further step (2015) but there s still a lot to do: How can we teach EMD s to recognize agonal/ ineffective breathing? How can we reduce the time «hands on chest»? Measure - understand the problems Which are the barriers? Human Technical Protocols Others 17
18 In conclusion Interaction and communication are essential to make the difference! Even the smallest problem needs to be faced in urgency there will be no time! To improve we must consider all the factors but especially we need to consider all (other) perspectives! Thank you for your attention! City of Lugano 18
