Michael L. "Luke" James, MD, FAHA

Following residencies in neurology and anesthesiology with fellowships in neurocritical care, neuroanesthesia, and vascular neurology, I joined an active clinical practice in neuro-anesthesia. Our center consistently handles a high volume of neuro-vascular neuro-surgical cases, which require the neuro-anesthesia subspecialization. This small group of neuro-anesthesiologists handles patient care and research opportunities during the perioperative period, as patients move between the emergency department, neuro-intensive care unit, operative suites, and neuro-interventional suites. Further, I am or have been a principal investigator (PI) on several clinical trials involving patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. As part of the Translational Acute Brain Injury Research Center at Duke, I have been the Duke site-PI for large, multi-center trials funded by the National Institutes of Health, including CLEAR-IVH, MISTIE, ERICH, and HI-Def studies.
