Pioneers in Cardiac Arrest Research
The research team may approach you for any of the ongoing investigations including those listed below. Your participation is valued but completely voluntary. If we do not speak with you directly but want more information, please ask to contact the research team (Page: 30758) and we will be happy to speak with you about any of the studies.
Cardiac Arrest Biomarkers
Cardiac enzymes and other inflammatory enzymes released during cardiac arrest help us understand the reason for arrest and will also help us determine optimal clinical therapies in the future.
Corticosteroids in Post-Cardiac Arrest Shock
Cardiac arrest survivors may have difficulty circulating blood and oxygen to the body’s organs and tissues (ie. shock). Corticosteroids may help improve blood circulation and reverse the shock state.
Coenzyme Q10 Therapy for Cerebral Resuscitation in Post-Cardiac Arrest
Neurologic injury following cardiac arrest is common and can be highly debilitating. Coenzyme Q10 is an an anti-oxidant molecule involved in energy production especially in neuronal cells and may have a protective effects on the brain for post-cardiac arrest patients.
Microcirculatory Visualization
Microcirculatory visualization is a novel technique that we may use to assess adequate circulation to the smallest blood vessels called capillaries.
