SUMMARY

The research of Bhavesh M. Patel, M.D., pertains to performance optimization of interprofessional resuscitation teams with a focus on education and resuscitation technologies.

In addition, as medical director of Respiratory Care at Mayo Clinic in Arizona for 10 years, he collaborated with Arizona State University Department of Engineering on researching respiratory aerosol management using artificial intelligence systems.

Focus areas

• Education technology applied to interprofessional resuscitation team training.
• Invasive hemodynamic monitoring with peripherally inserted central catheters.
• Noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring with point-of-care ultrasound, exhaled carbon dioxide and continuous urinalysis.
• Mechanical cardiopulmonary support technologies with mechanical ventilation, ventricular assist devices and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
• Hematologic and endocrine dysfunction in critical illness.

Significance to patient care

Interprofessional team training and faculty development on the sociotechnical interactions during resuscitation using multimodal education technologies aids patient care. Simulation-based learning and assessment are foundational to patient safety, compassionate care and health care worker resilience.

By combining an understanding of situational context, resuscitation technologies and human factors engineering, Dr. Patel's research delivers optimal patient outcomes while avoiding preventable complications. Dr. Patel's studies enhance self-awareness and situational awareness, relationship management skills, and critical reflection that meet patient needs.
