Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Kathleen L. Meert's research focuses on critical care outcomes in pediatric populations, with a particular emphasis on children in intensive care units and those experiencing cardiac arrest. Her work has investigated various aspects of pediatric intensive care, including the development and application of outcome measures such as the Functional Status Scale. She has studied interventions like therapeutic hypothermia following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in children and has explored factors associated with bleeding and thrombosis in children undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Her publications also address important clinical considerations for critically ill children, such as transfusion strategies, tolerance and withdrawal from prolonged opioid use, and readiness for weaning and extubation. Meert's scholarly contributions are reflected in her h-index of 64 and over 16,000 citations across nearly 400 publications. She has a history of collaboration with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Peter M. Mourani, Todd C. Carpenter, Carleen Schneiter, and Robert Bishop, with whom she shares numerous publications.
