Christiaan Meuwese

Christiaan Meuwese is an active Intensive Care Researcher at Erasmus Medical Center (Erasmus MC) specializing in Cardiology. His work focuses on advancing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) therapies and cardiogenic shock management within critical care settings. With 31 documented research outputs, Dr. Meuwese has established himself as a significant contributor to the field of critical care cardiology.

His primary research interests include:

• Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (100% focus)
• Cardiogenic Shock (27% focus)
• Assisted Circulation (15% focus)
• Extracorporeal Technologies (15% focus)
• Cohort Analysis and Observational Studies (10% focus)

Dr. Meuwese's recent research has centered on optimizing ECMO protocols for complex cardiac cases, including biventricular dysfunction management, left ventricular unloading strategies, and right ventricular pressure monitoring. His work combines clinical research with advanced computational modeling to address the complexities of hemodynamic management in critically ill patients. He has developed innovative approaches to ramp-down/ramp-up protocols for ECpella support and has contributed significantly to understanding prolonged ECMO use after cardiac surgery through the PELS-1 Cohort Study.

His publications appear in high-impact journals including JACC: Case Reports, American Heart Journal, ASAIO Journal, and Critical Care Medicine, demonstrating his contributions to advancing evidence-based practices in critical care cardiology. Dr. Meuwese frequently collaborates with international research teams on multi-center studies such as the REMAP ECMO trial, reflecting his standing within the global critical care research community.
