Bio

I am a clinician, educator and scientist dedicated to advancing cardiac critical care medicine (CCM). My training in both adult and pediatric CCM provided an excellent synergy to serve as Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Director for the Texas Children’s Hospital’s Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) ICU where I was recruited in Summer 2020. This followed nearly a decade at the University of Pittsburgh and 2 years at the University of Miami. I now care for adults in the ACHD ICU and children in the pediatric cardiac ICU as well as adults in the St. Luke's cardiothoracic ICU. In the past, I have attended in adult and peds ICUs focused on cardiac, medical, surgical, neurological, trauma/burn and obstetric disease. My prior translational research has focused on understanding the pathophysiology of cardiac and brain injury after global ischemia (cardiac arrest) with the goal of translating drug therapies into clinical use. I have developed multiple rodent and pig models of cardiac arrest and benchtop assays of ischemic heart, brain, mitochondrial injury which I used to test my hypotheses. My expertise was in free radical signaling/damage and nitric oxide biology. I have received funding from NIH K08, R21 and R01 mechanisms as well as industry awards. I have conducted two clinical trials in cardiac arrest using INDs under exception from informed consent. I have over 100 peer reviewed journal articles, several textbook chapters and 2 patents. With the AHA, I have served within 3CPR as past Early Career chair, on the leadership council and SCILL committees. I serve on the Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Science subcommittee for the past 5 years and presently act as co-chair of the 2023 AHA/AAP drowning guidelines focused update and 2025 ECC systems of care CPR guideline writing groups. I routinely moderate or present sessions at the annual meetings of AHA, the Resuscitation Sciences Symposium, the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the Christian Medical Dental Association.

Dr. Loveland also serves as an ABA Applied Examiner and enjoys this immensely. Throughout her career, her focus has been on pediatric cardiac anesthesia and education. While acting as the associate and then program director for the pediatric anesthesiology fellowship at The Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin she has served as a member and on the board of the Pediatric Anesthesiology Program Directors Association (PAPDA) and as a Councilor on the Association of Anesthesiology Subspecialty Program Directors (AASPD) board. She has been a member of The Congenital Cardiac Anesthesia Society (CCAS) and served on the database committee. Currently her focus is on working with her division to attain advanced pediatric cardiac anesthesiology subspecialty accreditation in the newly created track by the ACGME in pediatric cardiac anesthesiology. She currently is a member of the Well-Being Committee. She also serves as a regular contributor to the Pediatric Anesthesia Article of the Day (PAAD). Dr. Loveland completed medical school at The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and residency at The University of Chicago.

Following approximately ten years in Wisconsin change and challenge called and she moved to CHOP. Outside of medicine, her time is primarily spent keeping her five children from finding ways to hurt themselves, get an education, stay curious, and learn to navigate the world for themselves. She enjoys horseback riding, dressage in particular when she has a few moments to herself. Additionally, she has been married to her husband Andrew, for 20 years, who provides constant support (and reality checks), and all the free technology, code, computer, and analytical advice she could ever dream of.

Bio

I believe that good medicine starts with a compassion for people and a mind to serve those in need… I began my journey into medicine as an electrical engineer. Intrigued by radiofrequency transmission systems and cartilage regeneration, I completed graduate study focusing on nanoparticles and mechanokinetic device design. I ventured into medicine with a mind geared towards research in pediatric outcomes and improving the anesthesia delivery and monitoring systems designed for smaller patients. My interests in quality improvement associated with regional anesthesiology for pediatric patients, led me to serve as the Principal Investigator for the national Pediatric regional anesthesia network (PRAN) at Texas Children’s Hospital, with a focus on improving pediatric regional anesthesia drug delivery and quality outcomes. As a pediatric regional anesthesiologist and pain management specialist it is my aim to advance the practice of regional anesthesia and pain medicine in infants and children through safe and efficacious drug delivery. The incorporation of new peripheral nerve blocks brings both excitement and responsibility among anesthesiologists. My expertise in regional anesthesiology has permit me to transcend the perioperative environment and form a collaborative network that enhances pain delivery streams for a multitude of children in the oncology and hematology realm. Equally important to the advancement of pediatric pain medicine is my role as an educator. Along the course of my anesthesiology faculty development, I have taken an active role in the teaching of medical students, residents and fellows through curriculum development, lecture series, workshops and interactive small-group teaching sessions. I am committed to advocating for student education while upholding the highest standards of medical care. I look forward to enhancing the practice of pediatric anesthesiology in continuing to learn from and with medical students, resident-physicians, and colleagues, reviewing the best practices and critically assessing the present standards with evidence-based medicine.
