OverviewAI-generated summary

Michael L. Schmitz, Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, investigates outcomes related to cardiac function and anesthesia in pediatric cardiac transplant recipients. His recent publications include an examination of cardiac function decline after general anesthesia and cardiac catheterization in this patient population, as well as a case report on unexpected cardiac arrest during a generator change revealing coronary artery strangulation. Schmitz also studies complications associated with medical devices, such as aseptic cutaneous necrosis related to central venous catheter migration in neonates and chronic intercostal neuralgia following the placement of a right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit with a prosthetic valve.
