Biography

Dr. Bhakti K. Patel is a physician-scientist specializing in pulmonary critical care and clinical trials aimed at improving outcomes for patients with respiratory failure. Her research focuses on mitigating complications of critical illness, challenging standard ICU practices by promoting mobility over immobility, mental animation over sedation, and spontaneous breathing versus controlled respiration. Dr. Patel's career has been defined by a 'less is more' approach, which informs her investigational trials that emphasize collaborative team building, innovation, and program development. This approach inspired her investigations into early mobilization of mechanically ventilated patients and helmet ventilation in cases of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). In addition to her research, she serves as the associate program director of the pulmonary critical care fellowship and the physician-scientist development program.
