Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores challenges in patient transport and resuscitation, drawing on the front lines of caring for critically ill patients.
AboutAbout the lab
A relay race for life, carried on by team-based care.
The Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Lab serves as the Department of Emergency and Intensive Care at University of Tsukuba Hospital, providing emergency medicine and intensive care.
The lab accepts a wide range of emergency patients, from children to older adults, and from illnesses of internal causes to those of external causes such as poisoning, burns, and trauma.
Its research covers the characteristics of people for whom an emergency call is made because of cardiopulmonary arrest, and systems that relay information on patients being taken by ambulance to the hospital.
Key terms
- Intensive care
- Medical care in which critically ill patients are treated in an intensive care unit. Severe cases brought in through emergency care are also treated in coordination with the appropriate department
- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
- Emergency treatment given to a person in cardiopulmonary arrest to keep them alive
- Vital signs
- Basic physiological information used to assess a patient's condition

The "Ongoing Research" page of the Department of Emergency and Intensive Care website lists studies on emergency transport methods and on the characteristics of people for whom an emergency call is made because of cardiopulmonary arrest. It also includes efforts to relay information on patients in transit in real time and a survey of inter-facility transport of critically ill children.
*Illustrative imageCardiac Arrest Patients Who Do Not Wish to Be Resuscitated
Among people for whom an emergency call is made because of cardiopulmonary arrest, a certain number do not want cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Under the current system, they cannot be taken to a hospital without resuscitation and may receive treatment they did not want, so the lab studies the characteristics of these patients through an observational study.
*Illustrative imageA System for Relaying Patient Information During Transport
This research is connected to Tsukuba City's Smart City initiative. With an eye toward expanding the medical procedures that paramedics may perform, the lab aims to build a system that relays a patient's condition in real time while the patient is being transferred to a medical institution, so that the transfer can be done safely.
*Illustrative imageAppropriate Transport of Stroke and Emergency Patients
When a patient suspected of having a stroke is taken by ambulance to University of Tsukuba Hospital, visual information such as vital signs and neurological findings is relayed in real time to the Advanced Emergency and Critical Care Center. This is a demonstration-based observational study aimed at building an appropriate transport system.
*Illustrative imageInter-facility Transport of Critically Ill Children
When a critically ill child is transported to a pediatric intensive care unit, the lab uses a multicenter registry to examine how the occurrence of adverse events differs between cases where the transport is handled by an expert in pediatric transport and cases handled by other physicians.
