From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC ) is a network of eleven regional clinical centers and a data coordinating center. The consortium conducts experimental and observational studies of out-of-hospital treatments of cardiac arrest and trauma.
Ten communities in the United States and Canada doing uniform quality improvement, clinical trials, and tracking of cardiac arrest and major trauma . The network is coordinated by the University of Washington Clinical Trial Center . ROC is funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute , Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health , United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command , Defence Research and Development Canada , Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada , and American Heart Association .
