Peter Martin Hansen

Peter Martin Hansen is an active researcher at the Department of Regional Health Research within the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Southern Denmark. His primary focus is on the IRS - Prehospital Area, where he conducts critical research in emergency medicine and disaster response systems. He holds an MD and MSc, indicating his strong clinical and research background in medical sciences.

Dr. Hansen's research interests are centered around emergency medicine with specific expertise in prehospital care, disaster management, anaestesiology, and resuscitation techniques. His work frequently addresses critical issues in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest management, vascular access methods, triage systems, and ethical decision-making in emergency settings. His fingerprint analysis shows strong contributions to fields including Triage (100%), Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (51%), Resuscitation (42%), Randomized Clinical Trials (34%), Major Incidents (30%), and Vascular Access (27%).

His recent publications in 2025 demonstrate a clear trend toward large-scale clinical studies addressing practical challenges in emergency medical services. These include investigations into prehospital intraosseous access complications, mass casualty incident response protocols, ethical frameworks for prehospital resuscitation, oxygen therapy protocols for trauma patients, and comparative studies of vascular access methods during cardiac arrest. His work often appears in high-impact journals including The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and Resuscitation.

Dr. Hansen has received recognition for his work, including the Best Presentation 2nd prize at the 37th Conference in Oulu, Finland (June 2024) and the Best Abstract Competition award at the SSAI 32nd Meeting in Turku, Finland (August 2013).

• Active participant in the Ambulance and Helicopter Response Times in Emergency Medical services (AHRTEMIS) Project (2023-2026)
• Former visiting researcher at University of California (July-October 2010)
• Participant in SSAI Master on Advanced Emergency Medicine Course (September 2008)

His media engagement demonstrates his commitment to translating research into practical emergency response improvements, with recent contributions to Danish media on topics including concrete silo collapse incidents, radio communication challenges in emergency services, and lessons from the Storebælt train accident.
