Research Synopsis
My most significant contribution has been in generating evidence to prevent postoperative events in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). My work systematically addressed the early screening for OSA, diagnostic methods and perioperative management. For knowledge translation, I was the Founding Chair of Society of Anesthesia and Sleep Medicine (http://sasmhq.org/) (2010/11), President Elect 2011-13 and President 2013-15. I have established myself as an expert in the area, (h-index:73) and I hold the ResMed Inaugural Research Chair of Anesthesiology, Sleep Medicine at University of Toronto.
