Matthew Uhlenkott of Aurora, Colorado is devoted to advancing knowledge about specific medical topics. As a medical student, he was responsible for studying all areas related to the field of anesthesia. His hard work paid off when he successfully became a doctor and a resident anesthesiologist.

As a medical student, Matthew Uhlenkott of Aurora, Colorado began research on multiple medical issues. "A prevailing problem around the world is the number of deaths still related to HIV. We've advanced so far in the medical realm but people continue to die from what should be a treatable chronic disease," says Matthew Uhlenkott of Aurora, Colorado.

His first three medical articles were published between 2006 and 2008. Each were related to HIV and mortality. His first two articles were both published in 2006. "My first article 'Causes of Death in the Highly Active Antiretroviral (HAART) Era’ was published in Blood. My second article, ‘HIV Associated Mortality in the HAART Era’ was published in AIDS Reader." Matthew Uhlenkott of Aurora, Colorado's third article related to HIV and mortality was published in 2008 in the American Journal of the Medical Sciences.

After 2008, Matthew Uhlenkott of Aurora, Colorado changed his research from HIV and mortality to axillary vein imaging and catheterization. "The topic has been controversial because of safety concerns. But my research focused on multimodal vein imaging enhances the safety of axillary vein catheterization," says Matthew Uhlenkott of Aurora, Colorado.

It was this controversial topic that Matthew Uhlenkott of Aurora, Colorado focused his research on. Before the publication of his 2012 research article, Matthew Uhlenkott of Aurora, Colorado submitted his abstract for presentation to the ASA conference in Chicago, Illinois. His abstract was accepted allowing Matthew Uhlenkott of Aurora, Colorado to present his research through a poster presentation in July of 2011.

After the successful delivery of his poster presentation, "I continued research on the topic. With the work of colleagues, "Real-time Multimodal Axillary Vein Imaging Enhances the Safety and Efficacy of Axillary Vein Catheterization in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Patients" was published in the Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesia," says Matthew Uhlenkott of Aurora, Colorado.
