About
Hans Friberg is an Adjunct Professor in Anesthesiology and Intensive Care at Lund University, serving as Consultant and Project Manager for the Center for Cardiac Arrest and SWECRIT (Swedish Critical Care Registry). His work advances UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health through critical care research and registry-based initiatives.
His research centers on cardiac arrest pathophysiology and treatment, with expertise in out-of-hospital resuscitation, targeted temperature management, and biomarker development for brain injury and organ dysfunction. Key focus areas include prognostication methods, hypothermia protocols, and long-term cognitive/physical recovery in survivors.
Recent publications emphasize biomarker applications in critical care settings, including calprotectin for sepsis diagnosis, cystatin C for renal risk stratification, and neurofilament for neurological outcomes. His work leverages large-scale registry data (SWECRIT) to identify risk factors and evaluate interventions across diverse critical illness populations.
Scientific Awards: No major awards or fellowships are documented in the provided profile.
Professor Friberg has supervised 12 doctoral students across critical care topics including acute kidney injury biomarkers, post-ICU recovery, and sepsis pathophysiology. He leads active projects such as the SWECRIT Covid-19 cohort study and contributes to international trials like TTM2, with funding from institutional and registry-based sources.
He operates through the Center for Cardiac Arrest and SWECRIT collaborative networks, which integrate 30+ Swedish intensive care units to drive registry-based research on resuscitation science and critical care delivery optimization.
