The Centre for the Studies of Asphyxia and Resuscitation

CSAR believes that Scientific and Community Collaboration are vital for scientific knowledge generation, knowledge dissemination, and knowledge transfer. We take great pride in already established collaborations and always looking to expand our collaborative work to improve diagnoses, mitigate risk and improve survival and quality of life for newborns.

 

CSAR is a member of the collaborative Prairie Neonatal Resuscitation Research Group (Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg), which focuses on clinical studies in the delivery room. This group works with ~1200 preterm infants <1500g annually. 

 

CSAR is a member of the network for the prevention of brain injury during resuscitation after birth (Pichler, Austria; Goos, Netherlands), which investigates cerebral hyper- and hypoxia in preterm newborns immediately after birth.

 

CSAR is proud to collaborate with HealthySimulation.com is the world’s premier Healthcare Simulation resource website, providing the latest news, conference coverage, research highlights, helpful guides, career advice and job listings, product demos, vendor contacts, community sharing, and more!
