People should not die before they are done living.
Research
From cell cultures and animal models of brain injury and cardiopulmonary arrest all the way to human trials both in and out of the hospital, the UCSD Center for Resuscitation Science is internationally recognized as a leading contributor to resuscitation science. Prior and ongoing grant support has come from various intramural and extramural sources, including the National Institutes of Health, American Heart Association, Department of Defense, professional societies, and our industry partners. The Center has also provided mentorship to dozens of young scientists at various levels of training and published hundreds of scientific papers.
Training
The UCSD Center for Resuscitation Science has developed numerous innovative training programs for hospital providers, EMS personnel, and laypersons. In addition, the Advanced Resuscitation Training (ART) programs represents a major advance in clinical resuscitation. The ART programs empower hospitals and EMS agencies to design and implement a resuscitation training curriculum that addresses their individual needs, with continuous refinement based on performance improvement data. These programs have led to tremendous improvements in survival and are now internationally recognized as best practices.

Administration
Personnel from the UCSD Center for Resuscitation Science oversee resuscitation training and performance improvement efforts for multiple inpatient institutions and EMS agencies. In addition, the Center sponsors an annual resuscitation conference for medical providers and is involved in community outreach efforts to improve survival from cardiopulmonary arrest and trauma. Finally, partnerships with industry have resulted in an impressive record of innovation and discovery.
