About me

Sigridur Kalman was appointed Professor of Anesthesia and Intensive Care at the Department of Clinical Science, Intervention, and Technology in 2012. Her research concerns how the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture can be improved during the perioperative period, i.e. before, during and after the surgical intervention. The goal is to find ways to reduce complications.
