Arthur Slutsky, CM, MASc, FRSC, FCAHS, MD

SafeBVM; Professor of Medicine, Surgery and Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto

Dr. Arthur Slutsky is a Professor of Medicine, Surgery, and Biomedical Engineering (University of Toronto) and past Vice President (Research) at St. Michael’s Hospital. He previously was Director of the Respiratory Division at the University of Toronto and Director of the Interdepartmental Division of Critical Care Medicine. His research has been highly translational, focusing on basic discoveries including (1) the importance of atelectrauma (injury caused by opening-closing of lung units), (2) the discovery of biotrauma (pulmonary mediators released during mechanical ventilation can lead to distal organ dysfunction), and (3) ventilator-induced pulmonary fibrosis. These findings were followed by clinical research and multi-centered RCTs addressing lung protection in patients with ARDS, demonstrating that protective lung strategies can increase the number of donor lungs available for transplantation. His work has also impacted how patients with normal lungs are ventilated in the ICU and operating room. Dr. Slutsky has published >700 original papers, 70 books/chapters, and many randomized controlled trials which have changed clinical guidelines and practice. He has a (Google Scholar) H-index of >150, and his work has received >140,000 citations.
