Advanced Life Support (ALS) Expert Witnesses

Advanced life support (ALS) is a structured approach to the resuscitation of adults in cardiac arrest. It includes advanced interventions such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillation, airway management and treatment of reversible causes.

Cases involving advanced resuscitation can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to recognition of cardiac arrest, clinical decision-making, timing of interventions, resuscitation procedures and subsequent outcomes.

Our resuscitation expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, resuscitation documentation and the chronology of events. They can provide an opinion on relevant matters within their specialist area of expertise.
