Caroline M. Ruminski

Caroline M. Ruminski, MD is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology specializing in perioperative transesophageal echocardiography and critical care medicine. Her clinical expertise bridges cardiac anesthesia and intensive care unit management.

Her educational background includes:

• B.S. in Biology: Physiology & Neurobiology from the University of Maryland
• M.D. from the University of Virginia School of Medicine
• Internship, Residency (serving as Chief Resident), and Fellowship in Anesthesia Critical Care Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Dr. Ruminski's research integrates clinical anesthesiology with data science, focusing on cardiac complications in critically ill patients, post-traumatic pain management, and predictive analytics for cardiorespiratory monitoring. Her work addresses critical gaps in ICU outcomes through innovative applications of continuous monitoring systems and longitudinal outcome analysis.

Her 2017-2019 publications reveal consistent investigation into critical care complications, demonstrating expertise in atrial fibrillation management, trauma-related opioid prescribing patterns, and machine learning applications for ICU monitoring. These studies collectively emphasize improving patient safety through evidence-based interventions in high-acuity surgical and trauma settings.
