 We have 5 main clinical study projects :

1. Effect of novel mask ventilation technique on airway management.
2. Evaluation of cardiac function using transesophageal echocardiography.
3. Prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting by antiemetics.
4. Intraoperative intensive insulin therapy using artificial endocrine pancreas.
5. Enhanced recovery after surgery.

 We also conduct basic research on

1. Effect of anesthetics on cardioprotection.
2. Effects of anesthetics on angiogenesis.
3. Signaling pathways via subcellular microdomain in the cardiac protection against ischemia.
4. Vascular preconditioning and vascular protective effects.
5. Effect of volatile anesthetics on KATP channels.
