Research

Research stands as a cornerstone of NAPEN’s mission. We firmly believe that an environment dedicated to research fosters innovation and ensures that we remain at the forefront of pediatric anesthesia techniques and knowledge. As such, NAPEN maintains robust research collaborations with both national and international institutions, actively engaging in a multitude of projects.

The Pediatric and Neonatal Anesthesia Committee coordinates and contributes to numerous clinical research protocols, many of which are multicenter and span across international borders.
