Lisa Burry is an Assistant Professor at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto, and a clinician-scientist at Mount Sinai Hospital. Her research focuses on symptom management in the intensive care unit (ICU), particularly on preventing and treating delirium, and optimizing sedation strategies for critically ill patients. Burry is dedicated to improving patient care, which is vital as more than half of ICU patients experience delirium, leading to longer stays, increased health risks, and cognitive impairments. Her work encompasses randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and systematic literature reviews to identify effective strategies for preventing and managing delirium. A significant aspect of Burry's research is understanding the relationship between medications—such as benzodiazepines and opioids—and the risk of delirium, thus guiding clinicians on optimizing treatment plans. Recently, her systematic reviews have been integrated into the Society of Critical Care Medicine’s guidelines for delirium prevention and treatment. Burry’s commitment to addressing critical care challenges helps enhance the quality of life and outcomes for ICU patients.
