Matthew Careskey
Greetings, I am Matt Careskey. I am a pediatric anesthesiologist at Kapiolani Medical Center, and an assistant professor of pediatrics at the John A. Burns School of Medicine. My research interests are primarily focused on improving the safety of vascular access in hospitalized babies and children. In previous research, I used a unique statistical tool called cumulative sum- aka CUSUM- analysis as an aid to gauge clinicians’ mastery of certain procedures, such as ultrasound guided IV catheter placement.
Interestingly, we discovered that anesthesiology trainees gain mastery of ultrasound IV catheter placement even faster than their attendings! The literature for vascular access outcomes that I am researching is in its infancy, and generally speaking is under-published. I am very excited for any interested medical students and residents to join me in the fascinating world of pediatric anesthesia outcomes research!
