Faculty Leader: Meic Schmidt, MD, MBA, FAANS, FACS
Faculty Leader: Christian Bowers, MD
Join Dr. Schmidt (Department Chairman) and Dr. Bowers in the next steps of their research into how frailty affects patient outcomes after angiogram-negative subarachnoid hemorrhages (ANSAH).
Findings from recent research showed that frail patients have worse outcomes, which significantly impacts our understanding of ANSAH outcomes. They determined that frailty should be used for prognostication as it was a better predictor than Hunt and Hess or Fisher scores. See findings.
Faculty Leader: Andrew Carlson, MD
Join Dr. Carlson in exploring the phenomenon of "brain tsunamis," or cortical spreading depolarization in injury expansion after a traumatic brain injury, such as stroke. This research area can include prevention as well as improving patient outcomes.
UNM's Department of Neurosurgery is a recognized leader in clinical innovation and neurosciences research.
