Wake Forest University Health Sciences "Using Simulation to Improve Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Utilization and Initiation in the Emergency Department"

Biography

Dominique Gelmann, MD, is a third-year emergency medicine resident at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She earned her medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine. During her time there, she developed a passion for emergency medicine and critical care. Dr. Gelmann is set to begin a critical care fellowship at Wake Forest University in 2027, aiming to integrate her interests in acute resuscitation and the longitudinal care of critically ill patients.

Actively involved in the development of an extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) program at Wake Forest, Dr. Gelmann focuses on prehospital identification of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients who may benefit from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, facilitating timely cannulation in the emergency department. She has been awarded the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Foundation/Simulation Academy Research Grant to evaluate the implementation of an eCPR simulation for emergency medicine and critical care trainees and staff.
