Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Peter M. Mourani's research focuses on critical care in pediatric populations, with a particular emphasis on infectious diseases, neurological outcomes, and resuscitation science. He has investigated the characteristics and outcomes of children and adolescents with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) and severe acute COVID-19, as well as neurologic involvement in these conditions. His work also includes evaluating the effectiveness of maternal vaccination with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy against COVID-19-associated hospitalization in infants.

Mourani's research extends to improving survival rates and neurological outcomes in pediatric intensive care units through interventions such as physiologic point-of-care cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. He has also studied vaccine effectiveness against life-threatening influenza illness in children. His publications include work on lower respiratory tract infections in mechanically ventilated children, utilizing airway metagenomics for diagnosis, and exploring the impact of diastolic blood pressure thresholds during pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation on survival outcomes.

A highly cited researcher, Mourani has published over 250 papers and has a citation count exceeding 9,000. He collaborates extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Kathleen L. Meert, Todd C. Carpenter, Robert Bishop, and Katherine Irby, with whom he shares numerous publications. Mourani leads a research group and remains actively involved in research.
