Research Focus

Dr. Luis Guerra Sánchez’s scholarship sits at the crossroads of clinical nutrition, cardiovascular nursing, and patient‑safety science. His randomized trials explore how tailored dietary strategies can reverse malnutrition, boost functional capacity, and elevate quality of life in chronic heart‑failure patients 🫀📈. Parallel work standardises intravenous therapies and analgesia–sedation practices in ICUs, tightening medication‑safety protocols 💉🔒. Through multicentre audits, he spotlights delirium, restraint use, and nutritional risk—generating evidence for nurse‑led interventions that cut complications and hospital days 🏥⏱️. Overall, Luis champions evidence‑based, nurse‑driven care models that fuse nutrition science with cardiology and critical‑care best practices, improving outcomes across vulnerable populations .
