Perioperative anaesthesiology
Group leader
The group is involved in a wide specter within perioperativ anaesthesiology, with a common denominator of patient clinical function after anaesthesia in different contexts, including pre-requesites for obtaining optimal patient function.
Group leader: Harald Lenz
Our goals
The group's long-term goal is to improve patients' clinical condition after anesthetic procedures. We can achieve this partly by optimizing aspects of the anesthetic procedure itself:
- Better dosage control
- Optimal medication and methods
- Physiological care
and partly by focusing on important post-anesthetic aspects like:
- Pain
- Fatigue
- Normothermia
- Safety and experienced quality
We also work on:
- Pharmacological modeling of Propofol in adipose tissue
- New analgesic methods postoperatively - drugs and nerve blockades
- Depth control of anaesthesia with EEG
- Expiratory Propofol measurement
- Pain relief after major trauma
- Postoperative pain
- Safety and quality in the post-operative care unit, on wards and after discharge (day surgery).
- Implementing results and initiating new research in areas with low resources like Lebanon, Palestine, Gaza.
