Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Michael L. Schmitz is a Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. His research focuses on various aspects of anesthesiology, with a particular emphasis on cardiac function, patient outcomes, and rare medical events, often within the pediatric population. He has investigated cardiac function decline following general anesthesia and cardiac catheterization in pediatric cardiac transplant recipients and has published on unexpected cardiac arrest during generator change revealing coronary artery strangulation.
Schmitz's work also includes examining complications related to medical devices and procedures. He has authored a report on aseptic cutaneous necrosis in a neonate associated with central venous catheter migration and has studied chronic intercostal neuralgia after the placement of a right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 23, with over 1,615 citations across 84 publications, and he is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
He actively collaborates with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Destiny F. Chau, Jorge Guerrero, Xiomara Garcia, and Lawrence Greiten, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. Schmitz leads a research group and maintains an active lab website, indicating ongoing research activities.
