Dr. Romergryko G. Geocadin is Associate Professor in
the Department of Anesthesiology-Critical Care Medicine, Department of
Neurology, and Department of Neurosurgery, with a joint appointment in
the Department of Medicine of the Johns Hopkins University School of
Medicine. After completing his medical education in the Philippines,
residency at NYU, and fellowship at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Geocadin now
specializes in neurocritical care medicine at Johns Hopkins. Presently
he is the chairman of the multidisciplinary critical care practice
committee at Johns Hopkins Bayview and co-director of the Johns Hopkins
Encephalitis Center. He was previously the Director of the
Neurosciences Critical Care Unit at Johns Hopkins Bayview and was the
Director of the Division of Neurosciences Critical Care at Johns
Hopkins.
As a clinician-scientist, his research focuses on the
mechanisms and treatment of acute disorders of consciousness in the
ICU, with emphasis in brain injury after cardiac arrest. Dr. Geocadin’s
laboratory and translational research has been funded by the National
Institutes of Health (RO1, R21, R43 and R44 grants in collaboration
with Dr. Nitish Thakor of JHU-BME), the American Heart Association and
American Academy of Neurology. His translational and clinical research
has provided key insights on early neurophysiologic mechanisms of acute
coma recovery and the impact of temperature management/therapeutic
hypothermia on coma recovery and prognostication. His other areas of
research interest include diagnosis and treatment of encephalitis,
status epilepticus, and large strokes (ischemic and hemorrhagic) in the
ICU.
As a member of the Science Committee of the Emergency
Cardiovascular Care Committee of the American Heart Association (AHA)
and the Adult Research Task Force of the Get with the Guidelines
Resuscitation, he has published several AHA statements, guidelines and
high impact scientific articles related to cardiac arrest
resuscitation. He was a panelist/speaker for the Institute of Medicine
(IOM) of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Treatment of
Cardiac Arrest: Current Status and Future Directions. Dr. Geocadin is
chair of the practice guidelines writing group on Brain Injury and
Cardiac Arrest for the American Academy of Neurology
Dr. Geocadin has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and he serves on the editorial board of the journals: Resuscitation, Neurocritical Care, Seminars in Neurology, and Critical Care Practice and Research. He was guest editor for Neurology Clinics, Critical Care Clinics, and Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America.
He has been elected fellow of the American Academy of Neurology,
American Neurological Association and the Neurocritical Care Society.
He is the President-elect of the Neurocritical Care Society (NCS) and
chairman of the 2014 Annual Meeting of the NCS.
