Colket Endowed Chair in Paediatric Nursing at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. Martha’s passion for the practice of pediatric critical care nursing centres her research. Her studies have evolved from describing patterns of weaning from mechanical ventilation in young children recovering from acute hypoxemic respiratory failure to interventional studies that concentrate on how to best care for this vulnerable patient group. Martha’s research has set standards of care for critically-ill pediatric patients, has provided better tools to measure important phenomena of concern in paediatrics, and has illuminated relationship-based care when partnering with parents-of-critically-ill children.
