He attends in the Shock Trauma ICU at Intermountain Medical Center. Dr. Peltan provides care in the Shock Trauma ICU at Intermountain Medical Center and through the Intermountain Health Telecritical Care program. He treats patients with a broad range of critical illness conditions including serious infection and sepsis, respiratory failure, liver failure, shock, and complex post-operative conditions.

Dr. Peltan is particularly interested in identifying and deploying in clinical care methods for prevention, early identification, and management of critical illness. He leads an NIH-funded research program using clinical trials and big data to investigate the early identification and management of critical illness, with a particular focus on sepsis. Dr. Peltan is especially interested in understanding the causes and implications of practice variation in the delivery of sepsis care and how such variation can be harnessed to inform causal inference on sepsis treatment via well-designed observational studies and pragmatic trials.
