Additional Clinical Info

Current Research and Scholarly Interests

My overall research goal is to advance clinical practice by providing anesthesiologists with data to most effectively maintain cerebral blood flow in the perioperative period.
I am interested in the effect of the autonomic nervous system on cerebral blood flow regulation.
I intend to combine regional anesthetic techniques and noninvasive bedside cerebral blood flow monitoring to understand the effect of the sympathetic system on cerebral blood flow.
A secondary goal is to apply this new knowledge to investigate whether cervical sympathetic blocks improve long term neurological outcomes.

Clinical Trials

Cerebral Blood Flow Evaluation With Trancranial Doppler After Interscalene Nerve Block Not Recruiting
More
The purpose of this study is to assess cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) following regional anesthesia for shoulder surgery. The results of this study will help to further understand the physiologic effect of the interscalene nerve block on cerebral blood flow.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial. For more information, please contact Anna Maria Bombardieri, MD, PhD, 314-326-9107.

Cervical Sympathetic Block in Patients With Cerebral Vasospasm Not Recruiting
More
The purposes of this study are twofold: 1) to assess the effect of a cervical sympathetic block on cerebral blood flow in patients suffering from cerebral vasospasm, after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage; 2) to evaluate the effect of the sympathetic block on the recovery of the neurological function.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial. For more information, please contact Anna Maria Bombardieri, MD, PhD, (314) 326-9107.

Research Interests
My research focuses on the relationship between sleep abnormalities and pain behavior and opioid pharmacology in the postoperative, as well as chronic pain setting. More specifically, I am interested in delineating the effect of the different components of sleep-diosordered breathing, like nocturnal recurrent hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation on pain behavior in the acute and/or chronic care setting.
