James D. Fortenberry's research centers on critical care medicine for children, with a strong focus on life-support technologies such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO, a machine that temporarily takes over heart and lung function) and treatments for severe sepsis (a life-threatening response to infection) and associated organ failure like acute kidney injury. Related work covers blood transfusion practices in critically ill children and plasma exchange therapies. More recent publications also explore emerging tools such as artificial intelligence models for detecting sepsis and broader population health topics.
