Clinical Research Consortium to Improve Resuscitation Outcomes: This RFA provides support for the establishment of a Resuscitation Research Consortium to conduct clinical research in the areas of cardiopulmonary arrest and traumatic injury leading to arrest. This Clinical Research Consortium (the Consortium), consisting of up to seven Regional Clinical Centers (RCCs) and a Data and Coordinating Center (DCC), will provide the necessary infrastructure to conduct multiple collaborative trials to aid rapid translation of promising scientific and clinical advances to improve resuscitation outcomes. Trials may evaluate existing or new therapies (such as pharmacologic interventions, strategies of fluid resuscitation, and the use of immunomodulators), defined or proposed clinical management strategies (such as bleeding control strategies, the use of cerebral protection and neurologic preservation, metabolically directed therapies, and alternative CPR approaches), or a combination of the two. For the purpose of this document, cardiopulmonary arrest is defined as primary cardiopulmonary collapse. Traumatic arrest is defined as trauma leading to or threatening cardiopulmonary collapse. Resuscitation research is defined as the field of investigation that attempts to provide the best and most effective treatment for arrest patients.
