Joseph Levitt, MD, MS

Associate Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
Clinical Focus
Pulmonary Critical Care, Critical Care Medicine
Research Interests
My research focuses on the physiolgogic and biomarker characteristics of early acute lung injury (ALI) prior to need for mechanical ventilation. While, to date no pharmacologic treatment has improved survival in ALI, following the paradigm of early goal directed therapy for severe sepsis, clinical benefit may derive from identifying patients and initiating treatment prior to the need for positive pressure ventilation (and therefore prior to meeting current study entry criteria).
