Professor and Director of Respiratory Therapy
Dr. Walsh began his career in respiratory therapy and quickly developed an interest and passion for research and education. Brian’s research career began by focusing on areas within respiratory care that lacked evidence to guide practice; those areas included mechanical ventilation, aerosol delivery, airway clearance, and airway chemistry. This passion led to several discoveries within each of those areas and the development of several nationally recognized clinical practice guidelines. Subsequent academic interests have been optimal approaches to lung protective ventilation and cardiopulmonary interaction of mechanical ventilation, data analytics, and innovative ways of displaying numerical clinical data to obtain the best clinical outcome.
Brian is the editor of Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care 4th edition and has published over 30 peer reviewed manuscripts in his 22 years of experience. Dr. Walsh is the President of the American Association for Respiratory Care, a Fellow of the American Association for Respiratory Care.
