Short Description

The laboratory is involved in the development and testing of medical devices for use during anesthesia and intensive care.
It has facilities for simulation, animal testing and clinical studies.

Through close interaction between bioengineers, anesthesiologists and critical care physicians, numerous drug delivery systems and monitoring devices are being developed for patient care.

Recent News

Two upcoming articles on "Response Surface Model Predictions of Emergence" by Syroid et al. and Johnson et al. have been accepted by Anesthesia&Analgesia. Links to the abstracts are available in the Publications section.

Eleven abstracts were accepted for a poster presentation at the 2009 American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA. Links to these abstracts are available in the Publications section.

Mission Statement

We aspire to design, develop and apply bioengineering technology to create and improve medical devices and to improve medical care. We will provide educational opportunities for residents and graduate students through the application of engineering technology. We will apply computer graphics, information visualization techniques, neural networks, software, hardware/firmware engineering, and signal processing to address problems in anesthesia. We will develop missing link technologies.

History

The Anesthesiology Bioengineering Laboratory was established in 1976 at the Department of Anesthesiology, Health Sciences Center, University of Utah. To date, the culmulative research in this laboratory has resulted in the ME, MS, or PhD of over 75 graduate students in biomedical engineering and medical informatics at the University of Utah.
