Clinical An extensive computerized database within the Department of Anesthesiology facilitates clinical research endeavors. Anesthesiology as a medical specialty is ideally suited for the performance of clinical research. The administration of an anesthetic consists of a major but short-lived intervention in the homeostatic milieu of patients. The Department affords abundant and important opportunities to study the effects of these interventions. Clinical Pharmacology Members of the faculty have documented expertise in the performance of clinical pharmacologic studies in the areas of ambulatory, obstetric, and cardiac anesthesia. Drugs that have been studied include new anesthetic agents, muscle relaxants, inotropes, and anti-emetics. Regional Anesthesia The division of regional anesthesia is a world leader in the study of new techniques for regional anesthesia. Studies focus on gross anatomy as it relates to regional anesthesia, pharmacology of local anesthetics and neuraxial opioids, new techniques for regional anesthesia such as ultrasonography, and patient outcomes after regional anesthesia. Pain The pain division is particularly active in clinical research. Efforts have focused on the study of new vehicles for drug administration (such as iontopheresis) and new methods for pain relief (cryotherapy). Imaging Technology The Department is active in developing new procedures and education in imaging technology. A well-equipped laboratory provides investigators with the latest in video editing and digital image storage techniques. In addition, there are opportunities to interact with the engineering and computer science departments of Columbia University. |
