Biographical Sketch: Dr. Yannopoulos has published more than 130 articles in the field of resuscitation and many book chapters. He was the PI of the NIH funded ARREST trial, the first US trial that assessed the role of ECMO as a means to save more lives compared to the US standard of care for refractory VF. In collaboration with the Twin Cities EMS directors, he established the first ECMO-based resuscitation protocol in the US for refractory VF OHCA patients.
With the support of the Helmsley Charitable Trust, he is assessing ways to implement prehospital circulatory support for cardiac arrest victims and transform prehospital care for very time critical interventions.
