A department that supports perioperative care while conducting research from basic science to clinical practice.

The Department of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation provides advanced, safe perioperative care through surgical anesthesia, intensive care, and pain clinic, and also puts a strong emphasis on research. Research themes range widely from basic to clinical, including blood flow analysis, the effects of anesthetics, fibrosis, chronic pain, and perioperative anaphylaxis. Research conferences and journal clubs are held, along with an international research conference with Columbia University in the United States. Regardless of research experience, the lab has a support system for turning the "whys" that arise in clinical practice into research, and it also supports study abroad.

A lab that studies hospital infections and how antibiotics are used across multiple hospitals.

The Clinical Infection Control Lab studies infections that occur in hospitals, along with infection control measures and the use of antibiotics. The lab's website is published as the website of the Central Infection Control Unit, Nagoya University Hospital. Lecturer Hiroshi Morioka studied healthcare-associated infections and how antimicrobials are used, through a cross-sectional epidemiological study of inpatients at many hospitals in Aichi Prefecture. Comparing 2021 and 2023, the number of days of administration of antibiotics active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa fell by about 8–9%, both at hospitals that took part in the survey and at those that did not. Professor Tetsuya Yagi led research groups on infection control in healthcare facilities and on infection control of drug-resistant bacteria through regional collaboration, and compiled a handbook on hospital infection control and a guide to countermeasures against drug-resistant bacteria.

A department that provides emergency and intensive care for critically ill patients and conducts clinical research.

The Department of Emergency Medicine and the EMICU at Nagoya University Hospital provide care for critically ill patients and conduct research. The EMICU is a closed ICU in which the emergency department manages the whole body, and it treats critically ill patients, from adults to children, whom other hospitals have difficulty managing. For conditions such as severe heart failure, there is extensive experience to be gained in management using circulatory support devices, including ECMO. Research centers on clinical research, and the lab has a system in place that allows people to take part in education and research according to their wishes.

A neurosurgery lab dedicated to treating diseases of the brain and spinal cord.

The Neurosurgery lab provides clinical care for diseases of the brain and spinal cord, including brain tumors, cerebrovascular disorders, and spinal cord diseases. The lab is organized into groups for brain tumors, pituitary and neuroendocrine disorders, functional neurosurgery and image analysis, spinal cord and spine, endovascular neurosurgery, stroke surgery, and pediatric neurosurgery. The lab is where the Sugita clip, an aneurysm clip for cerebral aneurysms, was developed, and its stroke surgery group carries out procedures such as vascular anastomosis for moyamoya disease.

A lab dedicated to training and supporting clinical researchers.

The Clinical Research Education lab trains physicians and other researchers who conduct clinical research, and provides the education and support that underpin their work. Researchers from clinical departments are assigned to the lab for a set period, learn clinical research know-how through OJT, and aim to bring it back to their own departments. In addition to side-by-side support for researchers, the lab is in charge of seminars and develops educational content. The lab's website also serves to introduce General Medical Education, which is responsible for clinical education under the same program.

The transfusion service of a university hospital, safely supporting transfusion and cell therapy.

The Transfusion Service of Nagoya University Hospital manages and supplies blood products for transfusion and performs tests related to transfusion. In addition to responding to consultations on transfusion therapy and promoting the appropriate use of blood products, it collects and cryopreserves peripheral blood stem cells. It also supports clinical departments that provide cell therapy, including the storage, management, and supply of cells used in CAR-T cell therapy. A greeting message dated December 2022 (Reiwa 4) states that the service is focusing on measures against dilutional coagulopathy associated with massive transfusion.

The lab explores ways to detect inflammatory bowel disease from a blood sample before symptoms appear.

In the Endoscopic Medicine Lab, Associate Professor Takeshi Yamamura studies how to detect inflammatory bowel disease through a blood draw, before the patient notices any symptoms. The lab is run by faculty of the Department of Endoscopy at Nagoya University Hospital. Associate Professor Takeshi Yamamura's field is the small intestine and large intestine of the digestive tract. The aim is to start treatment early and prevent irreversible changes such as narrowing of the intestine.
