Dr. Bruno de Oliveira

Dr. Bruno de Oliveira is a Staff Physician in the Critical Care Department at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, where he manages critically ill patients requiring intensive monitoring and advanced life support. He trained in internal medicine and intensive care medicine at Hospital de Santa Maria in Lisbon, Portugal, one of the country's largest tertiary hospitals. For over a decade, he worked as a Critical Care specialist in Portugal, managing medical, surgical and trauma cases in centres equipped with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) — a heart-lung bypass technique for the most severely ill patients.

Dr. de Oliveira treats life-threatening conditions including sepsis (severe infection) and multiple organ failure. He is skilled in mechanical ventilation (breathing support), lung ultrasound and temperature management in critical illness. His clinical and research interests focus on optimizing antibiotic therapy, controlled cooling after cardiac arrest, and advanced respiratory support techniques. He has taught national courses in lung ultrasound and mechanical ventilation, and mentored medical residents in critical care training.

Before specializing in critical care, he trained in internal medicine with a focus on inherited metabolic disorders and high blood pressure. He is a good fit if you need expert care during a life-threatening illness, complex organ support, or recovery after major surgery or trauma.
