Dr. Srinivasan is a full-time attending physician at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Progressive Care Unit (PCU) at CHOP. The PICU at CHOP is a 68-bed tertiary care medical/surgical unit with approximately 4200 admissions every year and serves the Delaware Valley region of south-eastern Pennsylvania and adjoining southern New Jersey with national international referrals. The PICU offers advanced modes of ventilation, nitric oxide therapy, surfactant therapy, continuous and intermittent renal replacement therapies, extracorporeal life support therapy and advanced modes of blood exchanges. The PICU offers an accredited 3 year fellowship program supervised by board-certified PICU faculty members. The PICU manages all patients with close input from multiple consulting services and sub-specialties.Description of Other Expertise
Dr. Srinivasan is an Advisory Dean at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He serves as an invited small group facilitator for the Doctoring program for medical students at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and has been active in this role for over 10 years. He is also an invited course facilitator for FR601 – Frontiers in Bioethics and Professionalism, for 4th year medical students at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Srinivasan also champions wellness initiatives for students and colleagues using observation and reflection with art in medicine.Description of Research Expertise
Dr. Srinivasan is engaged in research in endocrinopathies and nutrition in critically ill children. He was a Co-Investigator (10% effort) and local site PI on the NHLBI funded Heart and Lung Failure - Pediatric Insulin Titration (HALF-PINT) study (NHLBI/HL107681 PI: Agus/Nadkarni) involving multiple PALISI sites. He was also site PI for the ancillary study Coagulation and Fibrinolysis - Pediatric Insulin Titration (CAF-PINT) with HALF-PINT. Locally, he studies the association of stress hyperglycemia/ blood glucose variability with key outcomes in the PICU population. Dr. Srinivasan also seeks to improve anthropometry measurements and delivery of enteral nutrition in the PICU population. He is PI of a CHOP CTRC supported study on measurement and validation of resting energy expenditure in children chronically mechanically ventilated via tracheostomy. He is PI of an industry sponsored study with NIH SBIR/STTR support to evaluate the efficacy of using TubeClear to restore patency in occluded enteral access devices in children in the ICU. He is collaborating with Dr. Katri Typpo (University of Arizona) to study the role of biomarkers of effects of enteral/parenteral nutrition on intestinal epithelium in the SUPPER study. Dr. Srinivasan is a founding member of the PALISI Nutrinet group to define nutrition specific common data elements for clinical trials of nutrition in critically ill children.Selected Publications
