Anesthesia

New research from the University of Queensland is shedding new light on what exactly is going on in our brains when we're knocked out by a general anesthetic – and it's much more complex that simply falling asleep.​

An experimental new robotic device automatically steers an inserted breathing tube towards a patient's trachea. It promises to make the intubation process easier for doctors, and safer for patients.

A robotic intubation system that inserts endotracheal tubes in patients is being tested on human subjects.

Scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have found that intense feelings of love are as effective at relieving pain as painkillers or even illicit drugs.

Scientists from the Canary Islands have developed an automatic anesthetic dosing system that responds to the level of a patient's consciousness.
