Gregory A. Schmidt, M.D.
Professor
Director of Critical Care Programs

Dr. Schmidt’s interests are in the areas of mechanical ventilation of critically ill patients, analysis of ventilator waveforms of flow and pressure, and judging the adequacy of volume replacement in patients in shock. He is an investigator in the ARDS Network’s Fluid and Catheter Treatment Trial (FACTT). With his former colleagues Jesse Hall and Lawrence D. H. Wood, he edits Principles of Critical Care (McGraw-Hill), now in its 3rd edition. Clinical interests include severe acidosis, respiratory failure in patients with neuromuscular diseases, and diving medicine.
