Level Up: Modelling Impact of Anesthetic Gas Use on Cost and Environment

Data from the University Hospital at the University of Iowa on the use of anesthetic gases between the years 2011 and 2020 is being investigated by the team of researchers including Dr. Rakesh Sondekoppam (Clinical Associate Professor of Anesthesia - Acute Pain and Regional Anesthesia, U of Iowa), Dr. Timur Ozelsel (Associate Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, University of Alberta), and Dr. Karen Buro (Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, MacEwan University). The data includes over 300.000 records and provides substantial insight into the history of use of different anesthetic agents and their cost and environmental impact. The team would like to hire a student to help with the investigation on which factors are driving cost and environmental impact in anesthesiology. The student will be responsible to fit different models for investigating the effectiveness of non-parametric methods in this analysis and creating graphs visualizing the results. We will be using R for the analysis. Position(s) available: 1
