Objectives
The ReSS is an international forum for fundamental, translational, clinical and population scientists and care providers to discuss recent advances related to treating cardiopulmonary arrest and life-threatening traumatic injury.

With a growing understanding of the shared pathophysiology between cardiac arrest and traumatic injury at multiple levels of biological organization, ReSS provides a unique opportunity for transdisciplinary interactions that rapidly translate advances in the resuscitation field from fundamental to translational to clinical to population science. Abstract presentations (oral and poster) will again be incorporated into the program.

Continuing Medical Education Accreditation
The American Heart Association is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide medical education for physicians.

Target Audience
Appropriate audiences include emergency physicians, trauma surgeons, neurosurgeons, cardiologists, critical care nurses, intensivists, emergency medical providers, resuscitation educators and researchers with basic, bioengineering, clinical or other experience related to treating cardiac arrest and trauma.
