The lab works on whole-body management during surgery and on the treatment of pain.

AboutAbout the lab
Freeing patients from pain and providing high-quality anesthesia care.
The Anesthesiology and Resuscitation Lab, together with the Department of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation at Kyushu University Hospital, works on whole-body management during surgery and on pain clinic care (treatment of pain).
On the lab's webpage, anesthesia is described as acute care medicine that suppresses harmful reactions to the major stress of surgery and prevents and corrects disturbances in respiration, circulation, body fluids, and metabolism.
Its research examines topics such as propofol infusion syndrome and lung injury caused by high concentrations of oxygen.
For medical students and residents, the lab announces opportunities to visit the department and see its atmosphere and training.
Key terms
- Propofol infusion syndrome
- A serious complication that occurs with long-term, high-dose propofol administration. Its mechanisms are not yet well understood.
- Acute care medicine
- The field of medicine to which anesthesia belongs. It suppresses harmful reactions to the major stress of surgery and prevents and corrects disturbances in the body.
- Pain clinic
- A clinical setting that specializes in the treatment of pain.

ResearchResearch themes
The Anesthesiology and Resuscitation Lab studies issues that arise in anesthesia and intensive care. Its research page is divided into basic research, clinical research, and other categories, and the basic research section lists themes such as complications of anesthetic drugs and lung injury caused by high concentrations of oxygen.
*Illustrative imageMechanisms of propofol infusion syndrome
The lab investigates the mechanisms of this serious complication, which occurs with long-term, high-dose propofol administration, focusing on the maturity of skeletal muscle and energy metabolism. It aims to establish safe sedation management and methods of prevention and treatment.
*Illustrative imageLung injury caused by high concentrations of oxygen
The causes of lung damage from the high concentrations of oxygen used in intensive care and anesthesia, and how to counter it, are not yet well understood. The lab examines changes in protein metabolism caused by hyperoxia and, together with the Advanced Emergency and Disaster Medicine lab, studies ways to prevent and reduce the injury.
MembersFaculty
The members of the Anesthesiology and Resuscitation Lab consist of faculty, clinical staff anesthesiologists (specialists and residents in specialty training), dental anesthesiologists, and graduate students.As of 2026
