Conference Articles
Articles are accessible from UW computers, or from outside UW using off-campus access.
These articles are meant to provide access to current and historical literature on various topics related to anesthesia. Although I try to select articles that are relevant and useful, it is up to the reader to make the final determination of the validity of the conclusions presented.
The opinions expressed in the articles do not necessarily represent my views, or the views of the Department of Anesthesiology.
