The Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt’s Pediatric Emergency Departments’ goal is to provide exceptional care for those in need of essential emergency healthcare. This goal is exemplified through our Emergency Medicine Fellowship Program and our Physician Faculty’s capability of producing ground breaking research.
Providing the administrative infrastructure to cultivate young enthusiastic minds to generate new ideas and treatment, from bench to bedside is a forward step toward the goal of providing the children of this region with every possible chance at the best available healthcare.
Our current research interests are: - Pediatric non-invasive monitoring “ Ouchless Monitoring”, tissue perfusion in the ill and injured pediatric patients
- Management of severe diabetic ketoacidosis in children
- Assessing severity of asthma attacks in children
- Developing essential medical response to extreme medical emergencies in high schools
- Sedation/analgesia for pediatric procedures/diagnostic studies in critical ill and injured children
- Injury Prevention
- New evaluation modalities in the Hydrocepahlus/seizure patients
