Andrew G. L. Whitelaw (born 31st August, 1946) is a British neonatologist and academic, known for his work on treating conditions affecting newborn babies. He holds the position of Emeritus Professor at Bristol Medical School, associated with Bristol Neuroscience.[1]
He is a member of the Royal College of Physicians and a Fellow of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. He also served as the president of the Neonatal Society.[2]
His research has over 15,553 citations across 9,919 documents. Additionally, his h-index stands at 61.
Early life
Whitelaw was in West Fife, Scotland to Robert and Cicely Whitelaw.[3]
Whitelaw received early education at Commercial Primary School.[3]
Research
Intraventricular Haemorrhage (IVH) and Hydrocephalus in Premature Babies
One of Whitelaw's notable findings is the efficacy of ventricular lavage in reducing brain injury and disability in post-haemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Ventricular lavage removes toxic substances, such as free iron and pro-inflammatory cytokines, released by old blood.[4][5][6]
