Together, advancing the care of our sickest patients
through excellent research

What is the Canadian
Critical Care Trials Group?

The Canadian Critical Care Trials Group (CCCTG) is a group of researchers who work together to design and conduct their own studies to improve the care and outcomes of critically ill adults and children.

The mission of the CCCTG is to advance the care of the sickest patients through excellent research.

To fulfill this mission, we foster and conduct excellent, innovative research, translate that research into practice and policy, provide international leadership in research, and mentor the next generation of leaders in critical care research.

The CCCTG has an over 25 year history of leading research that has improved the care of critically ill patients around the world, saving and improving lives. Examples of our major contributions include studying blood transfusion; preventing stress ulcers; treating severe lung injuries; and understanding the long-term physical and emotional effects of people who have survived their stay in the ICU.

Our mission is to foster and conduct excellent, innovative research, translate
that research into practice and policy, provide international leadership, and
collaboration, and mentor the next generation of leaders in critical care.
