Description of Clinical Expertise

My field of expertise is the triage and management of children undergoing general anesthesia in the main operating room, ambulatory surgical facilities and non-operating room anesthesia locations throughout The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
I work closely with nurse practitioners who staff the Anesthesia Resource Center and help identify risks and help with the care coordination of complex patients and their respective procedures.
I join international medical missions regularly with our colleagues from Plastic Surgery and General Surgery inside and outside our institution.

Description of Research Expertise

I am a staff anesthesiology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. My research interests focus on better understanding the risk of respiratory events during general anesthesia. My work involves testing new technologies that have potential to predict risk in small children and infants and design studies that enhance our knowledge of respiratory illnesses and their interaction with anesthetics.
