Safety and Feasibility of Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation for Cardiac Arrest from Trauma (EPR-CAT)

Abstract

During this third year of the project, we have been on clinical hold because of concerns about the local blood supply due to the COVID-19 pandemic since March, 2020. The University of Maryland, Baltimore, global restrictions on clinical research have otherwise been discontinued. In preparation for restarting when the blood supply issue is resolved, we have conducted 2 animal studies to train 3 new surgeons in the EPR technique. We have continued the process of bringing Stroger Hospital of Cook County on as a second EPR site. The subcontract with them has been completed. They have completed the community consultation/public disclosure process in concert with their Institutional Review Board. We are prepared to conduct training exercises for them once they receive regulatory approvals and our clinical hold is lifted.
