Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Kathleen L. Meert's research focuses on critical care in pediatric populations, particularly investigating outcomes and interventions for critically ill children. Her work has explored various aspects of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), including the effect of specific training methods on survival rates with favorable neurologic outcomes, and the impact of diastolic blood pressure thresholds during CPR. She has also examined the physiologic response to epinephrine during pediatric CPR and the associations between end-tidal carbon dioxide levels, CPR quality, and survival.
Further research by Meert includes studies on lower respiratory tract infections in children requiring mechanical ventilation, incorporating airway metagenomics. She has also investigated sepsis in pediatric patients, developing machine learning models to identify computable phenotypes for early enrollment in clinical trials and assessing mortality risk based on inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein and ferritin.
Meert has a substantial publication record, with 398 total publications and 16,210 citations, contributing to her designation as a highly cited researcher. Her scholarly network includes collaborators such as Peter M. Mourani, Todd C. Carpenter, and Robert Bishop, all affiliated with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom she has shared numerous publications.
