New Research Program Aims To Improve Survival From Cardiac Arrest, Severe Trauma
Each year, thousands of Americans die from sudden cardiac arrest and traumatic injuries. However, recent studies suggest many of these people can be saved with new approaches to treatment. San Diego is one of 10 sites in the United States and Canada chosen to participate in a massive research program known as the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC).
ROC is funded by the National Institutes of Health and other federal and Canadian agencies. In San Diego, ROC will be coordinated through the UCSD and will involve Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agencies and hospitals throughout the county. The study could potentially affect anyone in San Diego County who is involved in a serious injury or experiencing cardiac arrest.
