We sadly report that Dr. Bulent Kirimli, Professor Emeritus of Anesthesiology, recently passed away. Dr. Kirimli was invited by Dr. Peter Safar in the early 1960’s to help pioneer and further the cardiopulmonary resuscitation sciences. His work was recognized both nationally and internationally. Throughout his career at the University of Pittsburgh, he touched many lives as a physician and faculty member, in addition to being a wonderful father to his family.  His positive impact was felt by many, including fellow colleagues, students, and patients here in the United States as well as in Turkey.

Memorial contributions may be made in Dr. Kirimli's name to the Pittsburgh Turkish American Association, P.O. Box 7545, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 or to the University of Pittsburgh Department of Anesthesiology, c/o Jennifer Branik, University of Pittsburgh, A-1305 Scaife Hall, 3550 Terrace Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15261.
