We aspire to bring British Columbia community survival rates to among those highest in the world.

• Ongoing study to determine the effectiveness of ECPR for improving survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)
• Completion of the local BC OHCA database which is a registry of all OHCAs that occurred between December 2005 and April 2016 within BC metropolitan areas.
