Funded Activity Summary

Despite advances in medical management, critical care clinicians continue to search for procedures that will improve outcomes in critically ill patients with haemorrhagic shock (a life-threatening fall in blood pressure). Shock is a consequence of an active process triggered by the brain . The proposed research aims to elucidate the precise sequence of brain events that initiate and maintain shock. We will also evaluate the effects of interventions (designed to ameliorate or reverse shock) on the brain events that drive the shock response. The results of this research will offer, for the first time, a rational basis for devising new methods to reverse or ameliorate shock and potentially improve clinical outcomes
