Critical Care Research Areas and Disciplines | |
Research into critical care focuses on clinical trials to improve techniques to save lives. Improving success with airway management and reducing cardiac problems are examples.
The creation and management of equipment designed to monitor critically-ill patients is another topic of research. Another hot research topic is the creation and improvement of drugs to aid critically-ill people.
Given that a certain percentage of patients die while in critical care, research is ongoing into easing pain (research into sedatives, etc.), and also into organ donation after death. There is ongoing research into how to successfully harvest and transplant organs, and the ethics surrounding it.
A common specialization is that of pediatric critical care. There is much research going on in this field. Most universities, hospitals, and research centers that conduct critical care research usually include pediatrics. Research topics include methodologies to improve lung development in premature infants, preventing brain damage, and multiple-birth issues.
