Biography

Hide

Dr. Cooper is board certified in pediatrics, pediatric cardiology and pediatric critical care. He is currently the Heart Institute safety officer, co-director of the Center for Acute Care Nephrology, director of the Cardiac ECMO Program and associate medical director of the CICU at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.

Dr. Cooper's career over the past 10 years has focused on the care of critically ill neonates, infants, children, adolescents and adults with complex congenital heart disease (CHD). He has a particular interest in how care in the intensive care unit can impact morbidity with a specific interest in hematologic, infectious and renal morbidities. Additionally, Dr. Cooper has had extensive involvement with the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium (PC4), including the development of the PC4 CICU database that will be used to track outcomes and improve outcomes for patients with critical cardiac disease.
