Rate My Professor Hannah Kirsch

Kirsch's research focuses on critical care neurology, including thrombotic complications in critically ill COVID-19 patients, advances in intracranial pressure monitoring, predictors of outcomes in acute encephalitis, variations in coagulation among patients with cerebral hemorrhage, and associations between cerebral pressure and cardiac arrest outcomes. She serves on a National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke committee dedicated to coma and disorders of consciousness. Her key publications include "Hypercoagulable viscoelastic blood clot characteristics in critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 patients and associations with thrombotic complications" (The Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2021), "Update on Simulation in Neurocritical Care - Current Applications and Future Directions" (Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2024), "Pathways to Neuropalliative Care Practice" (Seminars in Neurology, 2024), and "Common Data Elements for Disorders of Consciousness: Recommendations from the Working Group on Goals-of-Care and Family/Surrogate Decision-Maker Data" (Neurocritical Care, 2023). Kirsch has received honors from the Neurocritical Care Society for her contributions and the Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine Award, recognizing her clinical excellence, compassion, and respect for patients, families, and colleagues. She was recently promoted from Clinical Assistant Professor to Clinical Associate Professor.
