Adam Gottula, MD

Emergency Medicine Critical Care Physician
University of Minnesota, Texas

I am an emergency medicine/anesthesia critical care physican with an academic interest in out of hospital cardiac arrest, mechanical support, and critical care transport medicine. I completed my emergency medicine training at The University of Cincinnati where I also served as the Resident Assistant Medical Director for UC Health Air Care, the critical care medicine transport service. I completed my critical care fellowship at The University of Michigan where I served as the administrative chief fellow.

My goal is to transform the paradigm of how advanced interventions, such as ECPR, are delivered to patients within the OHCA system of care, with an emphasis on improving access to care and long-term outcomes of cardiac arrest patients utilizing CCTM. My research has included both preclinical and clinical studies in the critical care transport medical environment, OHCA systems of care, and other acute conditions. I have dedicated significant effort to develop a geographic information systems (GIS) model that predicts ECPR eligibility and can guide the development of future OHCA systems of care. I used this model to demonstrate that nearly 90% of patients who would likely be clinically eligible for ECPR are located too far from ECPR-capable centers to receive this life-saving intervention when being transported by ground EMS. I then showed that a prehospital ECPR Helicopter EMS (HEMS)-based system of care could increase ECPR eligibility by four-fold compared to the current hospital-based OHCA system. The significance of this work has been recognized by the National Association of EMS Physicians as the best fellow research presentation and by the Wolf Creek Conference as a young innovator award finalist
