Jennifer Lynch, MD, PhD, an anesthesiologist and physicist specializing in biomedical optics at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute envisions the future of cardiac operating rooms will include advanced technologies that monitor the brain for risk of injury in children with congenital heart disease. Aided by her colleagues in The Lynch Lab for Novel Biomedical Optics and collaborators at CHOP, Dr. Lynch is developing a unique noninvasive neuromonitoring research device and utilizing it in cardiac operating rooms, catheterization labs, and critical care units. “Individualizing care is important for the outcomes of our patients, and the use of this research device may help to improve neuroprotection by matching care to the individual needs of each child. Our quest is to make a real impact in pediatric cardiac care, one optical innovation at a time,” Dr. Lynch said.
