Research

Dr. Jill Cholette has research interests in thrombosis and use of blood products in critically ill pediatric patients, particularly those undergoing cardiac surgery. Dr. Cholette is working to clarify the role of inflammation in the development of thrombosis, and to determine the optimal anticoagulation regimen for the pediatric post-op cardiac surgery patient.

Her other work involves blood utilization in the pediatric ICU patient, and she is developing a transfusion strategy for the pediatric post-op cardiac surgery patients.

Dr. Cholette's clinical interests are: thrombosis, hemostasis, and inflammation.

Clinical Trials

ECMO Hemostatic Transfusions in Children

Lead Researcher: Jill Marie Cholette

Hospitalized children who need help breathing often get platelet transfusions to prevent bleeding. However, these transfusions can also cause problems. This study is looking at two different ways of giving platelet transfusions to sick children to se...
