Sheldon Cheskes

Administrative Assistant: Ian Drennan, ian.drennan@sunnybrook.ca (Research Program Manager)

Research Synopsis

Dr. Cheskes’ research interests lie in the area of resuscitation science, particularly cardiac arrest resuscitation. He has a particular interest in CPR quality and its impact on cardiac arrest survival. He is also interested in systems of care for STEMI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) and prehospital airway management.

He is a co-principal investigator of studies exploring the impact of early prehospital treatment of sepsis, and the principal investigator of a study assessing the impact of remote ischemic conditioning on clinical outcomes from STEMI.

He is also the principal investigator of studies exploring innovative techniques in the treatment of refractory ventricular fibrillation and automated external defibrillator deployment for cardiac arrest.
