Arizona Neurological Emergencies Treatment Trials

The Arizona Emergency Medicine Research Center has formed Arizona Neurological Emergencies Treatment Trials (AzNETT), a network of hospitals across Arizona, to participate in the NIH Neurological Emergencies Treatment Trials (NETT) Network.

AzNETT, one of 11 Regional Hubs, will participate in large, simple trials conducted by the NETT to reduce the burden of very acute injuries and illnesses affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. The study of very rapid interventions will be implemented by paramedics in the field or by physicians in the Emergency Department. This network provides the basis for conducting efficient studies in these environments.

The hospitals included in AzNETT are:

University Medical Center, Tucson
University Physicians Hospital at Kino, Tucson
Southeast Arizona Medical Center, Douglas
Maryvale Hospital, Phoenix
John C. Lincoln North Mountain Hospital, Phoenix
Holy Cross Carondelet Hospital, Nogales
Copper Queen Community Hospital, Bisbee
Banner Thunderbird Medical Center, Glendale
Banner Health Center-Payson, Payson
Banner Good Samaritan Hospital, Phoenix
Barrow Neurological Institute of St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix
Arrowhead Community Hospital, Glendale
