Clinical/Research Interests

Dr. Antognini's clinical interests include the mechanisms of anesthesia and factors that influence anesthetic requirements. His research focuses on the effects of selective delivery of anesthetics to the brain, anesthetic effects on the electroencephalogram and pain processing in the spinal cord.
