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

During this fifth year of the project our efforts have continued to focus on the regulatory aspects of this clinical trail. We had already successfully obtained an Investigational Device Exemption from the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health Office of Device Evaluation and approval of the proposal from the University of Pittsburgh and University of Maryland Institutional Review Boards IRB for study enrollment, pending community consultation and public disclosure.
