In-Hospital Emergencies Projects at the Center for Resuscitation Science

The optimal management for in-hospital emergencies is central the Center for Resuscitation Science's mission. To achieve this, the Center operates in close collaboration with the inpatient Clinical Emergencies Committee at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, fostering a dynamic partnership that is central to our work.

The Center for Resuscitation Science leads an array of quality improvement initiatives, spanning the spectrum of inpatient emergencies, encompassing critical scenarios like hemorrhagic shock and cardiac arrest. Simultaneously, the Center engages in rigorous research endeavors, which currently range from harnessing the power of Natural Language Processing (NLP) to identify cardiac arrest events to investigations into Rapid Response Team (RRT) activation and its impact on patient outcomes. These efforts reflect the Center's dedication to advancing emergency care within hospital settings, saving lives and enhancing patient outcomes.
