Perioperative Medicine and Pain
<
Neurosciences Programme
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.
