Kybele Serbian team leaders, Drs. Ivan Velickovic and Curtis Baysinger received the 2015 Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) International Outreach Grant on a project entitled “Intrathecal Morphine Chloride with Sodium Edetate for Post Cesarean Section Analgesia”.  This study, which will involve 2,000 patients over three years, has the potential to significantly improve postoperative pain management for patients in countries where preservative-free morphine is not available.  

The award was presented and accepted by Dr. Velickovic at the 47th annual SOAP meeting in Colorado Springs, CO on May 16, 2015.
