The team has extensive experience in conducting clinical research, involving both investigator initiated studies and international multicenter clinical trials and registries. Active areas of investigation include, but are not limited to, health-related quality of life and post‑traumatic stress disorder after critical illness, sepsis including the development of novels tools for sepsis prediction and sepsis epidemiology, prevention of cardiac arrest, trauma registries and epidemiology, renal failure, oxidative stress metabolism and renal replacement therapies in critically ill patients.
The vision of this group is to be a relevant national and international research player and partner, addressing significant outcome issues for critical care.
