Pediatric Grand Rounds (CME) - New Therapies and Diagnostics for Cardiac Arrest and Traumatic Brain Injury: Studies from the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research

Patrick Kochanek, MD, MCCM - University of Pittsburgh

In this lecture, we will provide a summary of recent studies from investigators in the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research at the UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Translational investigations at the Safar Center are focused on pediatric neurocritical care and resuscitation research targeting new therapy and biomarker development for both cardiac arrest and traumatic brain injury.

Session Description

In this lecture a summary of recent studies from investigators in the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research at the UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh will be provided.  Translational investigations at the Safar Center are focused on pediatric neurocritical care and resuscitation research targeting new therapy and biomarker development for both cardiac arrest and traumatic brain injury.  Research spanning bench and bedside will be presented across the continuum of care from the field through the ICU and rehabilitation.  Key topics of investigation include novel approaches targeting cerebral edema, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial failure, strategies to develop phenotype-based therapies for both traumatic brain injury and cardiac arrest, the development of serum biomarkers for diagnostic, prognostic, and theranostic applications in neurocritical care, and novel investigations that are being developed to enhance the neuroprotective potential of therapeutic hypothermia through an enhanced understanding of its molecular underpinnings.

Education Goals

  • To become familiar with new treatments being developed for severe traumatic brain injury in children
  • To understand the role of therapeutic hypothermia in cerebral resuscitation and become aware of novel potential adjuncts to improve its efficacy.
  • To recognize new therapies that are being tested to prevent the development of cerebral edema across the spectrum of acute brain injury
  • To understand the role of hypoperfusion in secondary brain injury after cardiac arrest and become familiar with new potential therapies to improve cerebral perfusion.
