Research
Focus
- My research focuses on aspects of critical care in the pediatric cardiac patient. I have three major areas of research: 1. Hyperglycemia in the cardiac ICU; diagnosis and treatment, use of continuous glucose monitors, initiating a randomized controlled trial for glycemic control in the pediatric cardiac surgical patient. 2. B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) in the diagnosis and management of critical heart disease in children. 3. CPR in the infant, clinical and laboratory evaluation of depth of compressions and hemodynamic.
