OverviewAI-generated summary

Nadir Sharawi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, where he also serves as Chief of the Division of Obstetric Anesthesia. His research primarily focuses on patient-reported outcomes and recovery following cesarean sections and childbirth. He has led systematic reviews evaluating neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean delivery, including investigations into inadequate anesthesia and respiratory depression associated with neuraxial morphine and diamorphine.

Sharawi's work also examines the use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess postpartum recovery. This includes evaluations of inpatient and outpatient recovery using tools like the Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 (O-Q10) measure, as well as systematic reviews identifying and assessing PROMs for postpartum pain and functional recovery. He has also investigated the impact of enhanced recovery after cesarean delivery protocols on maternal outcomes.

His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 20 and 37 total publications with approximately 974 citations. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include Lindsay Blake (8 shared publications), Jill M. Mhyre (7 shared publications), J. H. Bamber (3 shared publications), and Sean Daly (3 shared publications). Sharawi leads a research group focused on these areas of obstetric anesthesia and patient recovery.
