Isabelle Huig

Isabelle Huig is a Researcher in the Department of Anesthesiology at Erasmus MC, Erasmus University Rotterdam, specializing in emergency medical systems and resuscitation science. Her work bridges clinical practice, policy development, and innovative training methodologies.

Her research focuses on optimizing prehospital emergency care through mixed-methods analysis of systemic barriers, virtual reality training efficacy, and public access defibrillator deployment. Key methodologies include focus groups, thematic analysis, and randomized controlled trials, targeting legislative frameworks and technological integration in emergency response.

Analysis of her publications (2014-2024) reveals three interconnected research thrusts: legislative/policy challenges in EMS research, comparative effectiveness of VR simulators for CPR training, and real-world implementation of automated defibrillators in urban settings. These studies consistently address practical barriers to improving survival rates in cardiac emergencies through interdisciplinary collaboration.
