![]() ![]() In fact, in 2009 a major professional anesthesia group issued nine recommendations to lower the rate of anesthetic-related complications. General anesthetics have been used in surgery for 170 years, yet how the inhaled drugs work is one of the great mysteries of neuroscience-and a pharmaceutical field with plenty of room for innovation. His goal is nothing short of revolutionizing an area of medicine and patient care that is based on a medical mystery that is 200 years old. His research focuses on cardiovascular and respiratory effects of anesthetics and on the mechanisms of anesthetic action. Over the next several days at the Mike and Renee Child Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship’s Biomedical + Engineering Entrepreneurship Academy, Brosnan finally found an audience that understood the wow factor of his research, and could help him with the network, advice and connections to bring his passion and technology to life.īrosnan, an expert in anesthesia in the Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, has developed patented and patent-pending technology and has identified agents in several novel classes of chemistry that could lead to better and more cost-effective general anesthetics for use in operating rooms and surgical centers.
