Clinical Associate Professor
Research Interests
Include:
- model volatile anaesthetic uptake and distribution
- effect-site volatile anaesthetic levels needed for various levels of surgical stimulus
- nitrous oxide kinetic analysis
- the effect of depth of anaesthesia on long-term outcomes
Current projects
- Quantifying the effect and variability of neuromuscular blocking drugs on patients undergoing surgery
Summer Studentship study, thanks to the Anaesthetists' Instrument Pool for funding this study. - Retrospective audit of use of blood & blood products during cardiac surgery
- Degree of recovery from muscle relaxation administration at the completion of cardiac surgery & relationship with time to extubation.
