Our Critical Care and Trauma surgeons are particularly interested in pursuing research that will improve outcomes of their patients. Recent research efforts have focused on:

• Therapeutic anticoagulation after traumatic brain injury
• Circulatory derangements in systemic sepsis
• Factors determining the creation of the open abdomen in initial trauma laparotomies
• Potentially survivable injury in New York City
• Data driven prediction systems in the ICU
• Patterns of injury in New York City
• Influence of antibiotic therapy on mortality of critical surgical illness caused or complicated by infection
• Acute renal failure in surgical patients
• Balanced fluid resuscitation in trauma patients
