Anesthesiologists evaluate, monitor, and supervise patient care before, during, and after surgery, delivering anesthesia, leading the Anesthesia Care Team, and ensuring optimal patient safety. Anesthesiologists specialize in anesthesia care, pain management, and critical care medicine.
The Department of Anesthesiology is committed to excellence in clinical care, education, research, and all other academic pursuits. With more than 75 full-time faculty members, the department offers impressive depth and breadth in its educational programs and in its clinical opportunities. A majority of the faculty are fellowship trained.
A focused intramural clinical research program is supported within the Department. Members of the department annually present papers at national and international meetings, as well as publish papers in peer-reviewed journals. A Department research committee meets regularly under the direction of Mario Inchiosa, Ph.D. This committee reviews research proposals of both staff and residents and promotes active participation of all staff and residents in research. A senior pharmacologist, Dr. Inchiosa also helps to design and execute research protocols, making him an extremely valuable research resource who is conducting important investigations in a range of areas, including reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndromes, predictive analytics with linear modeling, and coagulation abnormalities in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.
