David W. Crippen, MD, FCCM is Associate Professor
of Critical Care Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pittsburgh, PA. He also holds a secondary appointment as Associate Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine. He trained in general surgery,
Emergency Medicine and Critical Care Medicine. Dr. Crippen is a
member of the Society for Critical Care Medicine, the European
Society for Intensive Care Medicine, and the American College of
Emergency Physicians. He is a Fellow of the American College of
Critical Care Medicine, a Diplomate of the American Board of
Emergency Medicine, and the European Diploma in Intensive Care
Medicine.
To date, Dr. Crippen has developed and delivered over 470
formal lectures on clinical topics in critical care and emergency
medicine for National and International medical educational meetings.
In addition, Dr. Crippen has presented 22 abstracts for medical
meetings, 127 manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals and popular
media, 6 critical care medicine textbook chapters and one book as the
primary editor. Dr. Crippen has attended 62 medical meetings
Nationally and Internationally since graduation from his critical
care fellowship.
In 1993, Dr. Crippen discovered the newly emerging Internet
long before graphic interfaces, which at that time was limited to a
few participants who understood the UNIX language. After
gaining some experience with the Anesthesiology site GASNET, Dr.
Crippen developed and implemented an International clinical and
academic resource for critical care providers. The site is called
CCM-L (Critical Care Medicine-List) and offers the following services
for a group of over 1000 multinational participants: 1) A
Cyber-Consult Service - critical care consultations in real time from
experts around the world. Questions regarding ongoing patient care
usually generate replies in hours if not minutes following
presentation. 2) A CCM-L Journal Club - discussion of current
critical care literature. 3) A CCM-L Forum - discussions of what is
happening in the global medical sociopolitical arena. To date, there
is no other Internet site in existence offering these same services
to a multinational bevy of critical care providers, bioethicists and
legal experts.
Currently, Dr. Crippen is Medical Director of the
Neuro-Intensive Care Unit at Presbyterian_University Hospital. Dr. Crippen's clinical responsibilities include bedside and didactic teaching of critical care fellows, neurosurgical and neurological house staff, medical students and
nursing staff. When not pursuing clinical duties, Dr. Crippen spends
a lot of time on the Internet, plays guitar withrock band The CODES, rides one of three vintage 70's BMW Airhead motorcycles and campaigns a 600 cc superbike on the racing circuits of several area racetracks.
