Dr. Reynolds is a researcher and actively practicing critical care physician at the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. He is the recipient of the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation Professorship in Critical Care at 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú to support his research on Ventilator induced diaphragm dysfunction and negative pressure ventilation. He has been awarded 2 CIHR grants as the principle investigator to explore the impact of phrenic nerve stimulation on mitigating ventilator induced diaphragm dysfunction.

Research Area:

His research focuses on pulmonary physiology and the impact of negative pressure ventilation when used as an adjunct to traditional positive pressure ventilation. Active areas of enquiry in his lab include; pulmonary-neural interactions during ventilation, mitigation of ventilator induced lung injury, histological basis of mitigation of diaphragm atrophy during phrenic nerve pacing, and cardio-respiratory interactions during negative pressure adjunctive ventilation. His lab conducts much of this research in a large pig model in a mock ICU. Our group has extensive expertise conducting complex, multi-day experiments employing sophisticated physiological monitoring devices evaluating real time atelectasis, ventilation parameters, cardiac physiology and nerve conduction.

Clinical Research:

Dr. Reynolds is specialized in Critical Care, Infectious Diseases and Internal Medicine. Beyond his lab research he maintains a clinical research program in the Intensive Care unit and participates in collaborative research with the Canadian Critical Care Trials Group. He participates as a collaborator and on the executive committee of multi-center clinical trials.

Dr. Reynolds has an interest in bench to bedside innovation and the development of novel solutions to clinical problems. He is active in developing these solutions through to commercialization, such as an early stage device designed to non-pharmacologically manage patients with delirium.

In addition to his research and clinical duties, Dr. Reynolds is the Site Medical Director at the Royal Columbian Hospital and the chairman of the FHA Heath Authority Medical Advisory Committee (HAMAC).
