Dr. Artime's research focuses on airway management, particularly for difficult airway scenarios, neuromuscular blockade monitoring, and sedation techniques. His current projects include the SEGA trial comparing sedation versus general anesthesia for endovascular therapy in acute ischemic stroke, and a study comparing Sugammadex versus placebo to prevent residual neuromuscular block. His work bridges clinical practice with evidence-based approaches to improve patient outcomes in anesthesia.

Dr. Artime's publication record reveals a consistent emphasis on airway management techniques across multiple clinical settings. His research spans randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, and educational contributions that address critical challenges in anesthesia practice. The thematic consistency in his work demonstrates a dedicated research trajectory focused on improving airway management protocols and patient safety.

Dr. Artime has co-edited significant textbooks including "A Practical Guide to the Difficult Airway" (Oxford University Press, 2013) and "Hagberg and Benumof's Airway Management" (Elsevier, 2017). He has contributed numerous book chapters to authoritative texts such as Miller's Anesthesia and Benumof's Airway Management, establishing himself as a thought leader in the field.

As Clinical Executive Vice Chair, Dr. Artime oversees departmental operations while maintaining an active research program. His leadership extends to medical education, as evidenced by his work on faculty evaluation scoring systems for anesthesiology resident applicants. Dr. Artime collaborates extensively with colleagues across multiple institutions, reflecting a team-based approach to advancing anesthesiology practice and education.
