Dr. Caputo's research seeks to understand the evidence behind the conventional wisdom practiced in emergency departments across the world in order to determine the efficacy of current management strategies (such as preoxygenation in RSI, apneic oxygenation during intubation, non-invasive markers for occult shock) in order to improve safety and quality outcomes for patients.
