Summary
My interests include obstetric and gynecological anesthesia research. I am interested in improving the quality of pain control in both the labor wards and the gynecological surgical population, including the use of opioids in obstetric population. I am involved in looking at the incidence and factors related to postdural puncture headaches; conservative management of postdural puncture headache; and efficacy of generic propofol. I also have an interest in the management of the difficult airway in general anesthesia.
