Purpose of the Project

We started the Foundational Stabilization Project to create the absolute baseline for acceptable resuscitation and acute critical care. This baseline or foundational level of care is still above the current care provided in many locations in North America. If you were a patient, and you were brought to a center using the SOPs of the FoundStab project, you would know that you are getting appropriate and evidence-based care.
