Clinical Research/ Epidemiology in Sepsis/Pneumonia and Critical Care Medicine
Our hospital is a tertiary 1300-bed teaching hospital, which serves as a reference center for a wide area in Catalonia, Spain. The hospital has a highly specialized microbiology department, an outstanding ID department and a world-leading critical care department, with neurosurgical, oncohematologic and solid organ transplant (lung, liver, head, etc) programs and burns, between other critically ill patients. CRIPS is a world-leading research group, with a particular interest in Sepsis, Pneumonia and Severe infections in critically ill patients. Many of them are
oncohematologic and transplant patients. Multidisciplinary rounds are conducted daily by fully-certified critical care specialists with ID physicians, hematologists, surgeons, and respiratory consultants. Excellent opportunities of interaction with both Microbiology & ID Departments. CRIPS is acknowledged by world-class research in nosocomial infections, community-acquired pneumonia and severe influenza infection, coordinated from the ICU. Clinical care is organized by three Teams (Immucompromised, Neurocritical and Medical-Surgical Teams) under the leadership of Dr. Rello.
Phase 2 and 3 RCT
Moreover, CRIPS has a research laboratory of a€ceSevere Respiratory Infection and Sepsisa€, located in the installations of the Research Institute of Hospital Vail d3€™Hebron (Collcerola Building). The group works in topics like: Acute Respiratory Failure and Mechanical Ventilation, developing an animal model focused on the effects of pharmacological treatments or the treatment with modified mesenchymal stem cells in LPS-induced lung injury in mice, Epidemiology and Infection Control in the ICU-Safety, Respiratory Infections in Immunocompromised ICU patients or Lung Transplant in ICU.
Visitors will be able to take full advantage of the training schemes, lectures and observer opportunities our hospital and Research Institute offers.
