Commitment and purpose
In the last few years, Christoph has also created a national research group on curare and their monitoring.
At present, he has two ongoing studies on curare in collaboration with the University Hospital of Geneva and the regional hospital of Sion. Collaboration with the Division of Anaesthesiology of the University Hospital of Debrecen will start soon.
A further study, with the participation of 280 patients, was carried out in partnership with the Anaesthesia service of the University Hospital of Lausanne. This has recently been published and achieved and reached a very high Altimetric score. It was also mentioned in Pulsations, the journal of Geneva University Hospitals. This study had direct impact on daily clinical practice as it deals with rapid sequence induction and tries to reduce its side effects.
