Our Experimental team
The RescueDoppler study is managed at NTNU, while the experimental work has been (and continues to be) conducted in collaboration with Nord University and the Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania (CHOP).

We have an experimental study on asphyxia and cardiac arrest ongoing at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and are also planning clinical studies together using RescueDoppler in children. The Resuscitation Science Center seeks to firmly position Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as the leading clinical and translational critical illness research epicenter in the world. They utilize innovative translational bridges from in vitro and small animal models to transformative large animal models that have streamlined preclinical development.
In a pediatric porcine model of cardiac arrest, we compare RescueDoppler, with the invasive cortical blood flow monitoring by Laser Doppler via the Periflux device and non-invasive cortical blood flow monitoring using diffuse correlation spectroscopy.The aim is to identify a cost effective, reliable, interpretable signal of intra-arrest cerebral blood flow could prove to be a technology that improves postcardiac arrest survival with favorable neurologic outcomes.
