Pooja Kumar

Pooja Kumar's work spans critical care and perioperative medicine, examining issues such as sedation practices during mechanical ventilation, blood clot risk after surgery, immunosuppression strategies after lung transplant, and healthcare policy topics like opioid misuse and healthcare spending. Some publications also apply machine learning methods to healthcare prediction problems, such as forecasting patient costs and identifying opioid-related risks. This body of work suggests an interest in improving clinical decision-making and patient outcomes in intensive and perioperative care settings using both clinical research and data-driven methods.

Publication output was minimal to modest through most of the last decade but has grown sharply in 2024 and 2025, suggesting a recent increase in research activity.
