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 Intensive care, Intensive care medicine, Sepsis, Septic shock and Intensive care unit. The study incorporates disciplines such as Observational study, Epidemiology, Randomized controlled trial, Prospective cohort study and Resuscitation in addition to Intensive care. His Intensive care medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Clinical trial, Emergency medicine, MEDLINE and Anesthesiology.

His Sepsis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Severity of illness and Cohort. The various areas that Jean Louis Vincent examines in his Septic shock study include Anesthesia, Microcirculation and Shock. In his research on the topic of Intensive care unit, Respiratory failure is strongly related with Mortality rate.

His most cited work include:

  • Surviving sepsis campaign: international guidelines for management of severe sepsis and septic shock: 2012. (7979 citations)
  • The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (Sepsis-3) (7676 citations)
  • The SOFA (Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment) score to describe organ dysfunction/failure. On behalf of the Working Group on Sepsis-Related Problems of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine. (6445 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Intensive care medicine, Internal medicine, Anesthesia, Sepsis and Intensive care. His research in Intensive care medicine intersects with topics in Resuscitation, MEDLINE and Anesthesiology. Jean Louis Vincent combines subjects such as Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Surgery and Cardiology with his study of Internal medicine.

His Anesthesia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mean arterial pressure and Blood pressure. His work carried out in the field of Sepsis brings together such families of science as Mortality rate and Clinical trial. Intensive care and Emergency medicine are commonly linked in his work.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Intensive care medicine (33.58%)
  • Internal medicine (27.01%)
  • Anesthesia (22.64%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (27.01%)
  • Sepsis (21.54%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Intensive care medicine, Internal medicine, Sepsis, Intensive care and Anesthesia. His work in Intensive care medicine addresses issues such as Anesthesiology, which are connected to fields such as Emergency medicine. Jean Louis Vincent focuses mostly in the field of Internal medicine, narrowing it down to topics relating to Cardiology and, in certain cases, Blood pressure.

His work deals with themes such as Resuscitation and Microcirculation, which intersect with Sepsis. His Intensive care research incorporates elements of Mortality rate and Mechanical ventilation. As part of his studies on Septic shock, Jean Louis Vincent often connects relevant areas like Shock.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (Sepsis-3) (7676 citations)
  • Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock: 2016 (2235 citations)
  • Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock: 2016. (1523 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Disease

His primary areas of study are Intensive care medicine, Intensive care, Sepsis, Intensive care unit and Internal medicine. His Intensive care medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Acute kidney injury, Hemodynamics, Observational study and MEDLINE. In his study, Cohort and Epidemiology is inextricably linked to Emergency medicine, which falls within the broad field of Intensive care.

His Sepsis research includes elements of Microcirculation and C-reactive protein. His Internal medicine study also includes

  • Surgery which connect with Anesthesia,
  • Placebo, which have a strong connection to Clinical endpoint. His work focuses on many connections between Septic shock and other disciplines, such as Shock, that overlap with his field of interest in Mean arterial pressure.
