Department of Anesthesiology
Introduction
In 1962, Professor Okuaki removed from Tohoku University and founded the basis of the Section of Anesthesiology. In 1966, the Section of Anesthesiology was raised to the Department of Anesthesiology formally. In 1997, Professor Okuaki became Professor Emeritus and Doctor Murakawa arrived at new Professor. The Department of Anesthesiology has 20 allied hospitals and 61 anesthetists. The anesthetists participate in anesthetic management, intensive care medicine, emergency medicine, pain clinic, palliative medicine, and treatment for sleep apnea syndrome.
Research
1. Examination of relationship between anesthetic drugs and neurotransmitter in the brain using a micro dialysis
2. Drugs-induced effect on the action of neuromuscular relaxant, Monitoring of the degree of neuromuscular block
3. Effect of partial liquid ventilation on respiratory failure
4. Nerve damage caused by hypernatremia and carbon monoxide
Recently our findings have been accepted in many foreign international journals.
Education
1. Education for Students: Professor, assistant professor, and assistants give lectures on the students in the 4th grade. All staffs in the Department of Anesthesiology of the Fukushima Medical University take charge of Bed Side Learning for the students in the 5th grade (primary course). Staffs in the allied hospitals as well as those in the University give lectures on the Bed Side Learning for the students in the 6th grade (advanced course).
2. Education for Residents: In the first two years, residents study in the Department of Anesthesiology of the University and the allied hospitals (for more than one year), in the Critical Care Medical Center (six months), in the Department of Pulmonary Medicine (three months).
3. Lecture of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: We instruct doctors, dentists, schoolteachers, and the citizens in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
