Research in the Medical Intensive Care Unit
We are committed to improving the health of today's patients and of our patients in the future. One of the ways we do this is by advancing the state of medical knowledge with cutting edge research.
Our Physicians
We were members of the National Institutes of Health Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network (ARDSNet) since its inception in 1994. This organization conducted large, multicenter clinical trials of promising new treatment strategies for patients with ARDS and related disorders. We contributed to all 11 of the ARDSNet trials. Johns Hopkins investigators led two of the previous trials. We are now actively involved with the National Institutes of Health Prevention and Early Treatment of Acute Lung Injury Network (PETAL Network).
