OverviewAI-generated summary

Allison Jenkins researches clinical practice patterns, particularly concerning medication administration and pain management in surgical intensive care units. Her work has investigated the safe and effective use of weight-based dosing for low-molecular-weight heparin (enoxaparin) to achieve venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in trauma and spinal trauma patients. Jenkins has also studied the dissemination and impact of multimodal pain regimens, aiming to decrease variation and high opioid administration in surgical ICUs. Her research includes examining persistent opioid use following surgery and exploring vasopressor discontinuation strategies in hemorrhagic shock.

Jenkins collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Kyle J. Kalkwarf and Rebecca Smith, as well as Hanne Jensen and Hanna Jensen at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. She has authored eight publications, with an h-index of 3 and 15 citations.
