Perioperative and Intensive Care research
A lot of medical research is being done in the Perioperative and Intensive Care units. Our intensive care units carry out, among other things, the international REMAP-CAP pharmacotherapy trial, which is seeking to find appropriate drug therapy from biological antirheumatic drugs for coronavirus patients.
In 2020, 28 new research permits were granted to the Perioperative, Intensive Care and Pain Medicine unit. We are constantly running more than 30 studies.
