01/00-01/02 Consultant: Clinical Expert on Prone Positioning for a study entitled: Effect of Prone Positioning on the Pattern of Oxygenation in Acute Lung Injury Patients

Walter Reed Army Medical Center & Madigan Army Medical Center

Washington DC & Tacoma Washington

6/98-3/99: Co-Investigator on study to examine the effect of two different measures of cooling of fever in critically ill patients.

1/94 - 1997: Clinical and co-academic advisor for graduate field Studies which include:1. Recall perceptions of patients receiving

neuromuscular blockade with varying amounts of sedation.2. Identifying variables that impact critical care nurses

decision making practices for turning or not turning thecritically ill patient.

3. A comparison of two pressure relieving devices on the prevention and of heel pressure ulcers.

2/88 - 9/88: Research Study/Phase Two:"Effects of Suspended Prone Positioning on Pa02 and A-a Gradients in the Adult Patient with Acute Respiratory Failure."

The research was an experimental study utilizing a population of critically-ill adult patients with acute respiratory failure. It examinedthe changes in Pa02 levels and A-a gradients when comparing the supine and suspended prone positions. The patient served as his own control.

9/87 - 12/87: Product Evaluation Study/Phase One:

The study was conducted to evaluate the safety, comfort, andeffectiveness of a newly developed product: a prone positioner. Undergraduate nursing students whom met selection criteria and consented to participate were turned prone utilizing the

130

positioner. After two hours in the prone position, the subjects wereremoved from the positioner and completed a questionnaire.

9/85: Participated in a multi-center research study which examined theuse and effect of mega-dose steroids in patients who werediagnosed septic. I performed data collection procedures as wellas supervising others who collected data.
