Joseph R. Guenzer, MD, serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Utah School of Medicine, practicing in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit/Intensive Care Unit at University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City. Board certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology in both Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, his clinical work focuses on high-acuity critical care scenarios requiring specialized anesthetic expertise.

His educational trajectory includes:

• B.S. in Biology and English from Boston College
• M.D. from Creighton University School of Medicine
• Anesthesia Residency at University of Chicago Medicine

Dr. Guenzer's research spans critical care anesthesiology with emphasis on anticoagulation management during surgical interventions, transfusion protocols in critically ill patients, and neonatal hematology complications. His work bridges clinical practice with evidence-based review of landmark trials like the TRICC study, addressing urgent problems in perioperative bleeding and coagulation disorders.

Analysis of his 2010-2018 publications reveals consistent focus on high-stakes critical care interventions across adult and neonatal populations. Key thematic threads include anticoagulant reversal strategies during anesthesia, transfusion requirements in intensive care, and hematological emergencies in preterm infants—demonstrating clinical translational research directly impacting ICU practice guidelines.
