Scientific Focus
Research Interests
My main research interest is in the field of obstetric anesthesia. I am currently interested in hematological and hemostatic changes in pregnancy which are relevant to obstetric anesthetic practice.In addition, there are important hematological changes that occur in the peripartum period,and I am interested in the mechanisms by which anesthetic interventions affect these hematological changes with concomitant effects on maternal outcomes.
