The goal of the Department of Cardiopulmonary Sciences, Division of Respiratory Care, is to publish original research that impacts cardiopulmonary health care nationally, internationally and at Rush. The division of research includes four areas of focus: bench, simulation, clinical and disease management. Our bench and simulation projects translate either to clinical research or to the improvement of clinical services provided in the medical center.
More specifically, bench research includes aerosol projects and device trials. Simulation research ranges from improving staff clinical skills to introducing new scoring tools and clinical protocols. Clinical research projects include quality improvement, medical devices and observational or randomized clinical trials.
