Jo Kramer-Johansen

  • Research Group leader, Senior Physician, Professor II; MD, PhD
  • +47 975 39 429

Born in 1969. Specialist in Anaesthesiology, MD, PhD. He is head of Dept. of Research and Quality
Improvement and working as an anaesthesiologist in the Division of Prehospital Services at Oslo
University Hospital. From 2013 he holds a position as Adjunct Professor at the University of Oslo
(Klinmed). He is scientific head of the Norwegian Cardiac Arrest Registry and leads the Prehospital
Research Group at the University of Oslo. He has completed pedagogic basic competency training,
the research leadership programme at the University of Oslo, and a fellowship in patient safety and
quality improvement from the Scottish NHS (SQS-fellowship)

His research interests include cardiac arrest epidemiology, training, and treatment, as well as
implementation of science into clinical practice. He has authored and co-authored more than 100
scientific papers. His PhD-thesis from 2007 was on quality of CPR during actual prehospital treatment
of cardiac arrest.

He is currently supervising and co-supervising PhD-students doing their research on cardiac arrest
epidemiology, advanced treatment and outcomes after clinical CPR, prehospital airway management,
prehospital stroke management, and improved performance in medical triage and dispatch.
