Research Ideas

aren't you at CSU-Fullerton? do you have to do a full research project? just curious.

uh, when I come up with more than one, i will be glad to share. I unfortunately haven't even thought of one for myself yet. hmmmm

I can think of great projects, but I am not able to piece thme out and find something that is doable in the short time we have in our program.

One suggestion I have heard recently was evaluation of fenoldopam in CABG patients for renal protection. Measure Creatnine levels for patients who received VERY low dose infusions in perioperative period compare to those who get low dose dopamine or whatever the standard is where you are.

Thought of another one.
There have been post marketing reports of seizures with sevoflurane. The FDA mandated that they place a warning in their insert.
One study in Helsinki Finland (not published in US journals) showed a high rate of epileptogenic activity in adults who were hyperventilated and in children regardless of ventilation. They stated that the EEG activity was similar to what is seen with deep enflurane anesthesia.
At any rate EEG activity with sevo induction and or emergence, would be an interesting study.
