MD, MS, FAHA, FNCS
Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Neurology

Dr. Elmer is a physician-scientist working to improve survival and good functional recovery after resuscitation from sudden cardiac arrest. Specifically, he works to achieve this goal by translating existing best practice neurocritical care to this important patient population, while in parallel developing and testing new strategies to detect, prevent and treat secondary brain injury.  Specific focuses of his current research are quantitative electroencephalography, multimodal neurological monitoring and big data/novel analytical methods to effectively summarize and identify patterns in these complex, longitudinal data.
