Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Disease

His primary areas of investigation include Delirium, Intensive care unit, Intensive care medicine, Intensive care and Organic mental disorders. His Delirium research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Psychological intervention, Epidemiology, Confidence interval, Severity of illness and Sedation. The Intensive care unit study combines topics in areas such as Physical therapy, Cohort study, Emergency medicine, Sedative and Prospective cohort study.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Organ dysfunction, Mechanical ventilation and Evidence-based medicine, MEDLINE in addition to Intensive care medicine. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Intensive care, concentrating on Internal medicine and intersecting with Surgery. His work deals with themes such as Resuscitation, Cognitive disorder and Cohort, which intersect with Organic mental disorders.

His most cited work include:

  • Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Pain, Agitation, and Delirium in Adult Patients in the Intensive Care Unit (2248 citations)
  • Delirium as a predictor of mortality in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (1990 citations)
  • Efficacy and safety of a paired sedation and ventilator weaning protocol for mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care (Awakening and Breathing Controlled trial): a randomised controlled trial (1410 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

E. Wesley Ely spends much of his time researching Delirium, Intensive care medicine, Intensive care unit, Intensive care and Prospective cohort study. E. Wesley Ely has included themes like Cognition, Sedation, MEDLINE and Emergency medicine in his Delirium study. His research integrates issues of Psychological intervention, Health care and Anesthesiology in his study of Intensive care medicine.

His work in Intensive care unit covers topics such as Physical therapy which are related to areas like Randomized controlled trial. His Intensive care research incorporates themes from Pain management and Cognitive disorder. His Prospective cohort study course of study focuses on Pediatrics and Cohort.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Delirium (77.16%)
  • Intensive care medicine (51.60%)
  • Intensive care unit (46.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Delirium (77.16%)
  • Intensive care unit (46.17%)
  • Intensive care medicine (51.60%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

E. Wesley Ely focuses on Delirium, Intensive care unit, Intensive care medicine, MEDLINE and Mechanical ventilation. His Delirium study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Psychological intervention, Cognition, Intensive care, Emergency medicine and Cohort. E. Wesley Ely interconnects Intervention, Nursing and Critical illness in the investigation of issues within Intensive care unit.

His Intensive care medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Rehabilitation, Pandemic, Coronavirus disease 2019 and Sedation. In general MEDLINE study, his work on PsycINFO often relates to the realm of 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Mechanical ventilation study incorporates themes from Randomized controlled trial, Intubation and Confidence interval.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • COVID-19: ICU delirium management during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. (170 citations)
  • COVID-19: ICU delirium management during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. (170 citations)
  • Coronavirus Disease 2019: Withdrawing Mechanical Ventilation to Reallocate Life Support Under Crisis Standards of Care-Nonequivalence of the Equivalence Thesis. (118 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Disease

E. Wesley Ely mostly deals with Delirium, Intensive care medicine, Mechanical ventilation, Pandemic and MEDLINE. His Delirium research incorporates elements of Health care, Intensive care, Respiratory failure, Emergency medicine and Intensive care unit. His Intensive care unit research integrates issues from Nursing, Staffing, Perception and Direct patient care.

His Intensive care medicine research includes elements of Pain medicine and Anesthesiology. His work carried out in the field of Mechanical ventilation brings together such families of science as Dexmedetomidine, Sedation, Randomized controlled trial, Propofol and Sepsis mortality. Sedation is a subfield of Anesthesia that E. Wesley Ely explores.
