He is Chief for the Division of Emergency Critical Care, as well as Chair of UW Health’s Critical Care Committee. In these roles, Dr. Glazer spearheads departmental and institutional initiatives intended to ensure UW Health patients receive rapidly delivered, cutting-edge, maximally efficacious therapy in their acute phase of critical illness.

His operational work is epitomized by the inception of the UW ECPR (extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation) program, geared toward improving neurologically intact survival for victims of sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Implemented in March 2019, this multidisciplinary collaboration (EMS, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Perfusion, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesia, Interventional Cardiology, Critical Care, and many others) leverages and further expands the already-robust UW Health ECLS (extracorporeal life support) capabilities.
