Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My main research interest is in the field of obstetric anesthesia. Specifically, I am currently interested in hematological and hemostatic changes during the peripartum and postpartum periods. Our group is using point of care devices assess in vivo and in vitro changes in coagulation before and after delivery in low and high risk obstetric patients. In addition, we are interested in using electronic databases to assess the factors associated with obstetric hemorrhage, and to assess the effectiveness of clinical management strategies for postpartum hemorrhage.
Clinical Trials
- Not Recruiting Thromboelastography to Assess Age-Related Coagulation Differences in Patients Undergoing Cesarean Delivery
- Recruiting Thromboelastography in Non-elective Cesarean Delivery
- Not Recruiting In-vitro Study to Assess the Coagulation Effects of Exogenous Oxytocin Using Thromboelastography.
- Not Recruiting Prophylactic Enoxaparin Dosing for Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Pregnancy.
- Not Recruiting Thromboelastography to Assess Hemostatic Changes in Patients Undergoing Elective Cesarean Delivery.
