Get to know Arun Saini MD, MS, FAAP, FCCM
I believe in providing compassionate and evidence-based medical care to my patients. I try to personalize the care to suit patients and their family's needs.
Clinical Interests
I have a keen clinical and research interest in improving our understanding of altered hemostasis in critically ill children.
My current focus is on anticoagulation management on extracorporeal circuits, the utility of functional coagulation assays in managing acquired coagulopathy, and blood products transfusion practice in critically ill children.
