Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Xiomara Garcia's research focuses on critical care outcomes for neonates and children undergoing cardiac surgery. Her work investigates the implications of fluid accumulation and acute kidney injury in this patient population, examining risk factors and clinical outcomes. Garcia has published on topics including fluid balance assessment methods, the association of early postoperative fluid overload with adverse outcomes, and the epidemiology of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass.

Her research also extends to neurological involvement in conditions like hemolytic-uremic syndrome in children. Garcia actively collaborates with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including David T. Selewski, Michael L. Schmitz, Destiny F. Chau, and Jorge Guerrero. Her scholarship includes 41 publications and an h-index of 16.
