Abstract:
Resuscitation is the medical process of reviving a patient in cardiac arrest or impending cardiac arrest. In this paper, we describe some of the resuscitation research conducted by our group. The discussion will include: using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to describe the geographic epidemiology of pre-hospital cardiac arrest in Singapore, therapeutic post resuscitation hypothermia, and automated cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using a load-distributing band (LDB) device.
