"Acute Limb Ischemia: A Two Pronged Approach"

Title: Acute Limb Ischemia: A Two Pronged Approach
Acute Limb Ischemia remains a morbid and deadly diagnosis, with a 1-year amputation free survival rate of 50-60%. Postoperative medication regimen consists of long term anticoagulation in patients with embolic disease, but is poorly defined in patients with acute on chronic disease. In the era of personalized medicine, novel strategies are emerging to characterize bleeding and clotting risks, such as TEG. In our proposed study, we hope to prospectively use TEG to characterize risk of thrombotic outcomes.

Title: "Development of Robotic Surgery and Deliberate Practice Curricula"

"Engineering approaches to limiting post-operative adhesions and improving wound healing"

"A Step Towards Permanent Respiratory Support"

Title: "A Step Towards Permanent Respiratory Support".

Mentors: Dr. Keith Cook

Our lab focuses on applying engineering to advanced cardiopulmonary failure. I plan to discuss the results of testing our novel Pulmonary Assist System in sheep and new approaches for artificial surface-induced coagulation

"Right-Sizing" Trauma and Emergency General Surgery Care

Our projects focus on identifying specfic Acute Care Surgery patients and resources and ensuring they align. I plan to discuss and wrap up our work on the volume-outcome relationship in EMS for severely injured patients, discuss access to advanced emergency general surgery services in the context of the new EGS-VP program, and the relationship between timing and mortality for emergent EGS procedures.

Mentor: Dr. Joshua Brown
