Timothy P. Welch, M.D.

I am a combined pediatric anesthesiologist-intensivist, with a clinical practice centered on the comprehensive perioperative management of children with complex congenital heart disease. My background allows me the privilege of caring for these vulnerable patients and their families throughout the entire continuum – both in the intensive care unit, and the cardiac catheterization suites and cardiac operating room. My clinical expertise is in facilitating the high-risk, multidisciplinary transitions of care that occur in this context. Broadly, my academic interests coalesce around quality improvement as it relates to the implementation of enhanced recovery pathways for complex surgical patients.

Primary Clinical and Scholarly Interests

• Implementation science and comparative effectiveness research in perioperative care and enhanced recovery
• Thromboelastometry for goal-directed transfusion management after cardiopulmonary bypass and in patients on extracorporeal life support
• Strategies for neuromonitoring and neuroprotection during regional cerebral perfusion.
• Noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring and goal-directed management
• Quantitative metabolic assessment to guide nutritional support in critically ill infants
