Dr. Theo Trandafirescu
I am a pulmonary and critical care specialist and Associate Professor at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. I became an expert contributor and part of the editorial board of online and media medical coverage. I’ve enhanced the pulmonary and critical care teaching and consistently presented lectures, seminars and morning reports.
While at Mount Sinai Services at Queens Hospital Center, NY I have been mentoring fellows, residents and medical students for in-clinical research and poster case presentations.
Previously, I have worked primarily as a Pulmonary and Critical Care specialist at Montefiore Medical Center, where I also served as Medical Director of Respiratory Therapy. As Medical Director, I implemented and developed respiratory therapy protocols that included weaning from mechanical ventilation, teaching intubation processes and implementing rescue therapy for severe hypoxic respiratory failure (ECMO, nitric oxide and prostacyclin).
I am Vice President of Meetings and Programs of the American Federation for Medical Research organization where I dedicate to support high quality medical research and emerging research investigators, and organize national and regional meetings.
I am looking forward to work and cooperate with medical and scientific organizations to develop and mentor leaders in medical research.
I have lectured about ECMO, ARDS and covid prevention, treatment and logistics and was lecture awarded by National Romanian Society of Pulmonary.
I have been educated health care professional and general public about medical research, respiratory and critical care medicine and public policies on Romanian and New York media channels.
In the New York area, I have actively educated and made aware those from the Romanian community of increasing compliance with medical recommendations.
