Srikumar Nair, MD

Dr. Nair’s interest is in the field of Neonatology, with a specific focus in improving quality and performance outcomes. With constant advances in neonatal critical care medicine and research, it is imperative that these advances be implemented in a structured way to achieve the maximum benefit for the largest patient population. This can be challenging in the high pressure often chaotic NICU environment. The proper and methodical execution of improved protocols and practices is critical in the pursuit of excellent patient care. Some of Dr. Nair’s current projects include decreasing the number of unplanned extubation events and decreasing the number of Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections, both of which can cause significant morbidity and mortality to the neonatal patient population. He is continually looking for ways to optimize quality standards in the NICCU to improve care and patient safety.
