The mission of the Resuscitation Research Program at The Ohio State University Department of Emergency Medicine is to increase survival from sudden cardiac arrest in central Ohio and beyond by developing and researching innovative diagnostic and treatment strategies.
Our goal is to involve the EMS community in comprehensive, innovative resuscitation research. For more information on participating in and/or assistance with project development, research protocol design, grant writing, project coordination with other agencies or FWA and IRB assistance, contact Bill Barks, program manager, at (614) 293-5101.
We are currently involved in the listed research projects. Detailed descriptions are linked on the left or through the title below.
