Transforming treatments, saving lives: The SAFE, SAFE-TBI, CHEST & PLUS studies

Our research has saved many thousands of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars by changing the way the medical world views one of the most common intensive care treatments. Our studies have influenced intensive care treatment guidelines worldwide, prevented harmful yet common treatment choices, and demonstrated that cheaper treatments can be safer than more expensive ones. By tackling what was previously considered ‘impossible’ in intensive care research, our researchers initiated a culture of critical thinking in one of the most challenging and expensive areas of healthcare.
