TARGETS

Research in the field of hospital emergencies and pre-hospital emergencies has a great impact on improving acute care and survival. This group has consolidated lines of research in the field of studying strategies to improve the survival of sudden death, in the field of preparation for new pandemic crises and in the study of strategies to improve the pre-hospital care for time-dependent pathologies such as stroke, acute coronary pathology or traumatic pathology.
