Anesthesiology

Research

The anesthesiology service at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine is actively involved in finding solutions to anesthesia problems in order to improve the care of our patients. Our general approach is to perform studies which can be immediately applied by clinicians or anesthesiologists after reading the publication.

Below are some publications by our group in recent years. Individual faculty Web pages have more information about their specific programs.
