Dear ______,

We are conducting a research study evaluating provider experiences caring for adult patients suffering an in- hospital cardiac arrest. We appreciate your completing the following brief survey. Study results will guide future projects to improve cardiac arrest resuscitation quality and patient outcomes after cardiac arrest. Your responses will not be linked to identifying information about you.

Sincerely, Ithan Peltan, MD, MSc
