Research

The Anaesthetic Department has an active research program which contributes significantly to the quality of anaesthetic research worldwide.

Our research has attracted research funding from ANZCA, NHMRC, St. Vincent’s Hospital and Pharmaceutical companies. In the past 10 years there have been an average of 9 ongoing projects a year.
