Dr. Tiago Carvalho

Dr. Tiago Carvalho is an Associate Staff Physician in the Critical Care Department at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi's Integrated Hospital Care Institute. He brings 21 years of clinical experience across critical care, emergency medicine, and pre-hospital emergency services, having trained and practiced extensively in Portugal before joining Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi in 2022. His career spans work at Hospital São José in Lisbon—a tertiary center specializing in medical and trauma patients with ECMO capabilities—and leadership roles in emergency departments across Portugal.

Dr. Carvalho specializes in managing critically ill patients, with particular focus on sepsis, multi-organ failure, and hemodynamic evaluation. He has deep experience in ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) care and trauma resuscitation. His background includes 15 years coordinating pre-hospital emergency and helicopter medical rescue operations, bringing a unique perspective on emergency transport and patient stabilization during critical transfers.

He is a good fit for patients requiring complex critical care management, particularly those with severe infections, organ failure, or trauma-related complications. His training in intensive care medicine combined with emergency medicine expertise means he is comfortable managing unstable patients across multiple care settings.
