New professor of cardiac arrest treatment is the first of his kind in Denmark

On 1 September 2017, Denmark got its first professor of cardiac arrest treatment. Professor Bo Løfgren is employed at Aarhus University, Aarhus University Hospital and Randers Regional Hospital.

The prognosis for patients who suffer cardiac arrest is poor and their chances of survival are low. This is something that newly appointed Professor Bo Løfgren will do his best to change through his research into the treatment of cardiac arrest.

Bo Løfgren’s research includes registry studies and experimental and clinical studies, all of which focus on a single overarching aim: to increase survival rates after cardiac arrest. One particular research priority area is cardiac arrest treatment in hospitals, including factors such as the importance of the staff who are summoned in cases of cardiac arrest. 

The new professorship is a collaboration between the Department of Clinical Medicine at Aarhus University, the Department of Medicine at Randers Regional Hospital, and the Research Center for Emergency Medicine at Aarhus University Hospital.
