Summary
Intravenous fluid administration to patients is the most common clinical intervention, often done to help sick patents get better, however paradoxically it is associated with worsening oxygen levels and increased death rates. In humans and animal I have demonstrated increased respiratory dysfunction with its administration. This study aims to understand the efficacy, compare different types of fluids and establish safer fluid administration thereby decreasing patient suffering and death rates.

I am a full-time Intensive Care Specialist in Sydney who combines clinician duties with research. My research is the design and conduct of large trials that have changed and will continue to change the management of critically ill patients around the world. I led two of the largest trials ever conducted in critically ill patients and have recently been funded to lead a further even larger trial. The Practitioner Fellowship will allow me to continue and expand this essential research.
