The Chronically Critically Ill
Most patients admitted to intensive care units either recover or die within the first few days of the onset of critical illness. However, a subgroup of critically ill patients enters a more prolonged phase with a continuing need for mechanical ventilation and intensive nursing care that may last for weeks to months. These patients have been termed the chronically critically ill. My main research interest is devoted to improving the outcomes of these patients.
Current clinical studies include:
In addition, the Medical ICU is an active participant in national and international multi-center trials in acute critical illness. Ongoing studies include:

The Mount Sinai Medical Center is home to an extensive array of top-notch research centers and laboratories, where scientists and researchers work to translate the rapid advances in basic science into the innovative patient care for which we are known.
Participating in Mount Sinai’s clinical trials allows you to take advantage of innovative treatments as we work together to advance the future of medicine.
