"Anesthesia administration can seem fairly anonymous, but helping a family and child through the procedures of anesthesia and surgery with the least amount of distress is very satisfying. There aren’t many specialties that tolerate singing as part of the job, either! I’ve spent part of my time studying safe perioperative pain relief with morphine or ketorolac, especially in infants. More recently, I’ve begun using acupuncture, which has the advantage of avoiding drug interactions. It’s very rewarding when infants or children respond to these treatments. I’ve also reached an age where I find personal satisfaction in teaching future anesthesiologists the clinical pearls of pediatric anesthesia."

Research Description

Morphine handling and its respiratory effects in infants were initial studies looking at patients having cardiac surgery and then infants having other major surgeries.

More recently, I've studied ketorolac a non-steriodal anti-inflammatory agent, in infants following major surgery. Now I'm beginning to study the use of acupuncture both for pain relief and more broadly its use for wellness following surgery or significant illness. Identifying which patients are most able to benefit from the use of acupuncture would be very useful since acupuncture treatments are quite labor intensive.
