Current Retrospective Projects
- Quaye, Gagnon, Riker, Seder, Sauer Characteristics of patients maintained on Buprenorphine requiring Intensive Care Admission
- Two part study: descriptive analysis and retrospective 2:1 matched control comparative analysis. Published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and in revisions with the Journal of Substance Use and Addiction Treatment.
- Hicks, Quaye, Barker, Hayes, Kramer Does preoperative hemoglobin level inversely correlate with risk of blood product transfusion in cardiac surgical patients at MaineHealth Maine Medical Center?
Active Research Grants
Anne Hicks, in collaboration with the MaineHealth Maine Medical Center Division of Cardiovascular Surgery and the Roux Institute, was selected by the COBRE in Acute Care Research and Rural Disparities for $50,000 in funding.
- Dr Hicks will be investigating the association between time evolving intraoperative hemodynamic and metabolic measures and failure to rescue complications in adult cardiac surgery patients. The ultimate goal is to incorporate the intraoperative variables of importance identified this study into the prospective risk model currently under investigation in the HEA(RT) project.
