Perioperative Medicine and Pain
Research group
We are clinical anesthesiologists who also perform clinical research. Our main topics are: (1) respiratory aspects of anesthesia, namely treatment of perioperative hypoxemia, effects of anesthestics on respiratory function and postoperative pulmonary complications; (2) blood saving strategies, focused to avoid blood transfusion; (3) neuroanaesthesia, mainly monitoring depth of anaesthesia and effects of anaesthetics during neuroanaesthesia; (4) clinical trials related to anaesthetic procedures; (5) pathophysiological mechanisms of neuropathic pain; (6) epidemiology and treatment of postoperative pain.
