The National Institutes of Health and other U.S. and Canadian agencies will
fund a research consortium that will test promising new treatments for cardiac
arrest and severe trauma injury on patients in the U.S. and Canada. Supporters
have committed an initial $50 million to the project. The NIH said the
Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium will involve emergency medical service and
public safety agencies, regional hospitals, community health care institutions
and medical centers in 11 regions in the U.S. and Canada and as many as 15,000
patients over a three-year period. The group plans to educate participating
communities about the effort over the next year. They are Birmingham, AL;
Dallas; Iowa City, IA; Milwaukee; Pittsburgh; Portland, OR; San Diego; Seattle
and King County, WA; Ottawa, Ontario; and Vancouver, BC.
